Fiscal crises as pretexts for quantitative easing

Reis, Ricardo, (2016), “Fiscal crises as pretexts for quantitative easing”, VoxEu, 14 Οκτωβρίου

Conventional economic theory predicts that, outside of a financial crisis, quantitative easing should have no effect on real outcomes or inflation. This column proposes two theoretical channels through which quantitative easing might also work in a fiscal crisis. In this case, quantitative easing can be a valuable tool because it can control the path of inflation over time and reduce the distortions to the credit flow in the economy.
