Assessing the Economy‐wide Effects of Quantitative Easing

Abstract: This article examines the macroeconomic impact of the first round of quantitative easing (QE) by the Bank of England. We attempt to quantify the effects of these purchases by focusing on the impact of lower long-term interest rates on the wider economy. We use three different models to estimate the impact of QE on output and inflation: a large Bayesian vector autoregression (VAR), a changepoint structural VAR and a time-varying parameter VAR. Our estimates suggest that QE may have had a peak effect on the leve… Show more

“…For the UK, Kapetanios et al (2012) examine the impact of the Bank of England's QE asset purchases on GDP and inflation in the UK. In this article, three VAR models, each incorporating structural change in different ways, are used to produce counterfactual forecasts, assuming that QE acted to reduce gilt spreads.…”

“…Their results suggest that purchases of commercial paper resulted in a drop in the yields of these tools, but that purchases of corporate bonds did not have a significant impact. In the UK market, Kapetanios et al (2012) and Lyonnet and Werner (2012) focused on the Bank of England's QE strategy, but they found the opposite results. Kapetanios et al (2012) examined the effect of QE on UK output growth and inflation.…”
