" So 1600% would really be 25% even if QE had the effect he claims. | |

| Mar 31, 2019 at 19:45 | comment | added | Alex C | Koo believes that monetary policy is ineffective in this situation. His views are interesting. But he is making a straw-man argument when he says this statement. No one seriously believed that the price level would rise in direct proportion to the size of the Fed balance sheet in response to QE. He is debunking a claim that no serious economist ever made. | |
