We study the effects of monetary-policy-induced changes in Tobin's q on corporate investment and capital structure. We develop a theory of the mechanism, provide empirical evidence, evaluate the ability of the quantitative theory to match the evidence, and quantify the relevance for monetary transmission to aggregate investment.

We thank Sebastián Fanelli, Pascal Paul, and Ander Pérez-Orive for their useful discussions. We also thank Vladimir Asriyan, Isaac Baley, Jordi Galí, Victoria Vanasco, and Jaume Ventura for their feedback.
