Helicopter money: Loved, not spent

Bright, Ian, Janssen, Senne, (2017), “Helicopter money: Loved, not spent”, Voxeu, 13 Ιανουαρίου 2017

With growth and inflation in Europe remaining low, the idea of helicopter money is slowly gaining traction with politicians and economists alike. This column presents the results of a survey that asked people how, if they were to receive an extra €200 per month to do with as they chose, they would use the money. There was broad support for the policy among respondents, but only about one in four said they would spend most of the money. The findings suggest that a larger impact might be achieved if instead the money were given to the government to finance projects.
