Abstract: Purpose - This paper aims to examine the dynamic interactions between monetary and financial variables in the Indian context. Design/methodology/approach - In this paper, the authors have applied a recently developed asymmetric autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model by Shinet al.(2014), for detecting nonlinearities focusing on the long-run and short-run asymmetries among economic variables. Findings - The results point toward the presence of asymmetric reaction of stock prices to changes in interest rate and exchange rate in full sample, as well as in pre-crisis. However, no asymmetry was found in the post-crisis period. The results further suggest that tight monetary policies appear to retard the stock prices, more than easy monetary policies that stimulate them. Practical implications - The findings of the study can be helpful in understanding the policy transmission mechanism through asset price channel. Originality/value - To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that examines the interactions between monetary and financial variables in the Indian context in an asymmetric framework. The findings of this study are quite interesting and are different from several existing studies in the literature.
