Blog Fazit: Discussion about monetary policy at the conference "The ECB and Its Watchers" ("FAZ.NET")

In the economic blog of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung called ""Fazit", Gerald Braunberger summarizes the discussion about the expansionary monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the impact of the bond purchases at the IMFS conference "The ECB and Its Watchers". There is a wide gap betweeen the assessment of academic economists and financial market experts, Braunberger said.

"The economists (at least those who are seriously concerned with monetary policy) know that the impact of bond purchases is usually overvalued whereas many participants at the financial market who sense speculation bubbles everywhere, actually overestimate the impact of bond purchase".
