The Effects of Monetary Policy on Social Inequality – Macro Research

Our second Macro report of the semester is now available!

Following the Global Financial Crisis and the implementation of unconventional monetary policies by central banks, there have been concerns regarding the potential contribution of these policies to social inequality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between monetary policy and inequality remains uncertain, especially in today’s landscape of supply shocks and high inflation. In our December report, we aim to better understand the impact of monetary policy decisions on income and wealth inequality by analyzing existing research and theoretical frameworks.
