Inflation, Monetary Policy, And The Sacrifice Ratio, Leef H. Dierks

Results indicate that upon adopting a contractive monetary policy, GDP growth dropped by up to 0.5 per cent, confirming that monetary authorities’ disinflationary policies typically trigger declines in both output and employment.

This expansionary monetary policy has impacted many financial markets including the U.S. stock market. Finding the extent …
