| Summary: | This paper shows that a different communication style of the European Central Bank (ECB) affects stock prices differently.

By modifying the high-frequency identification of monetary policy shocks in the euro area, I can show that two quantitative easing shocks occur per decision: One during the release and one during the press conference. Although the impact on policy rates is identical, the release window shock seems to have a more pronounced effect on stock prices. |
