摘要:
After the Bank of Japan first introduced a quantitative easing policy in 2001, Tsujimura and Mizoshita [(2003) Asset-Liability-Matrix Analysis Derived From Flow-of-Funds Accounts: the Bank of Japan's Quantitative Monetary Policy Examined. Economic Systems Research, 15, 51-67] applied input-output analysis to analyze its effects. Some central bankers criticized the analysis as misleading because it was based on the asset-liability matrix derived from the financial balance sheets. In this vein, the real policy effects on production and employment were overlooked. Herein, we answer such criticism by introducing a new method of tracking the flow of funds. It covers both real and financial transactions to show the mechanism and the effects of the US quantitative easing.
