Abstract: This article complements the recent literature analysing the effects of the unconventional monetary stimuli applied after the Great Recession by proposing an intuitive and easy-to-implement method to evaluate different exit strategies towards a traditional monetary context. This approach, useful for central bankers or researchers interested in the effects of tapering, allows us to evaluate the consequences of a given monetary policy path on the future evolution of key macroeconomic indicators. The results based on this methodology provide a measurement of the differences in economic performance under contractionary and expansionary policies and support the recent success of monetary stimuli in boosting real indicators while having little effect on inflation.
