Abstract

This paper evaluates the domestic and international macroeconomic effects of the Eurosystem’s Asset Purchase Programme (APP) by means of a calibrated three-country dynamic general equilibrium model of the world economy. We find that the APP boosts domestic inflation and economic activity as liquidity increases and long-term interest rates fall. International spillovers are expansionary, and their size depends on the monetary policy stance of partner countries and on the response of international relative prices.
