The Macroeconomic Effects of Large‐scale Asset Purchase Programmes
Abstract
We simulate the Federal Reserve second Large‐Scale Asset Purchase programme in a DSGE model with bond market segmentation estimated on US data. GDP growth increases by less than a third of a percentage point and inflation barely changes relative to the absence of intervention. The key reasons behind our findings are small estimates for both the elasticity of the risk premium to the quantity of long‐term debt and the degree of financial market segmentation. Without the commitment to keep the nominal interest rate at its lower bound for an extended period, the effects of asset purchase programmes would be even smaller.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
