Abstract

The European Central Bank has engaged in a wide range of non-standard monetary policy measures since 2007. Each new tool was accompanied by an intense public debate on its effectiveness. This study evaluates the average effect of these measures on the macro-economy. The estimates show that unexpected changes in monetary policy that lower euro-area sovereign bond yields lead to a significant rise in real GDP, consumer prices, inflation expectations, and credit volume in the euro area. The effects on the German economy are very similar. All in all, the evaluation shows that non-standard monetary policy shocks are effective and contribute to fulfilling the central bank’s mandate Die Europäische Zentralbank hat seit 2007 zahlreiche unkonventionelle geldpolitische Maßnahmen umgesetzt. Jedes neue Instrument wurde von einer heftigen öffentlichen Debatte über seine Wirksamkeit begleitet. Diese Studie evaluiert die makroökonomischen Effekte dieser Maßnahmen. Die Schätzungen zeigen, dass eine unerwartete Lockerung der Geldpolitik, die die Renditen von Staatsanleihen im Euroraum senkt, zu einem signifikanten Anstieg des realen Bruttoinlandsprodukts, der Verbraucherpreise, der Inflationserwartungen und des Kreditvolumens im Euroraum führt. Die Auswirkungen auf die deutsche Wirtschaft sind sehr ähnlich. Insgesamt zeigt die Analyse, dass die unkonventionelle Geldpolitik wirksam ist und dazu beigetragen hat, das Mandat der Zentralbank zu erfüllen.
