Abstract:
Abstract The paper studies the quantitative easing (QE)-inflation nexus, as well as other inflationary factors such as supply, demand, oil and fiscal shocks. Findings are: (i) QE can be seen as a complementary policy instrument for short-term stabilization; (ii) the interest rate instrument still produces paradoxical effects on inflation and output for short horizons in the post-2007 period; (iii) fiscal, supply and demand shocks exert the highest percentage effects on inflation in the post-2019 period, but QE and interest rate interventions also account for a sizable variation; and (iv) inflation takes a long time to converge or transition after a shock.
