The Financial Market Impact of UK Quantitative EasingFrancis BreedonUniversity of London, Queen Mary - School of Economics and Finance Jagjit S. ChadhaUniversity of Saint Andrews - School of Economics & Management A. Watersaffiliation not provided to SSRN May 1, 2012 BIS Paper No. 65p QMUL Working Paper 696 August 2012 Abstract: We measure the impact of the UK's initial 2009-10 Quantitative Easing (QE) Programme on bonds and other assets. First, we use a macro-finance yield curve both to create a counterfactual path for bond yields and to estimate the impact of QE directly. Second, we analyse the impact of individual QE operations on a range of asset prices. We find that QE significantly lowered government bond yields through the portfolio balance channel – by around 50 to 100 basis points. We also uncover significant effects of individual operations but limited pass through to other assets. Full publication: Threat of Fiscal Dominance? http://ssrn.com/abstract=2078895
