I'm really pleased to be featured in @justmoney.bsky.social's current scholarship post. Looking at the Bank of Japan and Fed archives, I argue that QE was always linked to public-sector support, but that effect was deliberately suppressed in central banks' public research and other comms.

Our theory: At first, CBs seek to ward off politicization by talking 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 about controversial topics.
