James Hamilton discusses QE2. (via Mark Thoma) Hamilton quotes New York Fed President William Dudley:
some simple calculations based on recent experience suggest that $500 billion of purchases would provide about as much stimulus as a reduction in the federal funds rate of between half a point and three quarters of a point. But this estimate is sensitive to how long market participants expected the Fed to hold on to these assets.
