Quantitative Easing: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Dan O'Brien:
If stimulus can kick-start a recovery, one gets stronger demand, stronger growth, unemployment comes down, the labour market tightens, wage bargaining increases and wages go up. That is the mechanism. If it works and if quantitative easing, QE, boosts demand then that will feed into the labour market and then wages will be pushed up.
