Abstract

The Fed has responded to sharp drops in stock prices for two decades by pumping massive amounts of liquidity into the economy—creating a not-so-unreasonable expectation that future declines may elicit a similar response. Field and experimental evidence supports the price-raising effect of increased money supply.

Keywords: stock prices, quantitative easing, liquidity, money supply
