Abstract: In the dark times of the economic crises of 2008, The United States implemented economic policies that were uncommon and unorthodox to many of the economists. An economic activity known as Quantitative Easing (QE) was performed in which the FED provided liquidity to the market by purchasing financial assets from the government and the private sector. Some economists agree with the decisions made by the FED, whereas others are not so optimistic about them. In this study I analyze how the economic growth of United States is affected by different variables including QE. I conducted a multiple regression analysis over the period of Jan 2006 to July 2021-with GDP growth rate being the dependent variable and the independent variables being QE (M2 money supply rate), Inflation rate, Interest rate and Exchange rate (USD to EUR). The results showed that there is a strong negative relation between the GDP rate and M2 money supply rate which shows that QE might have rescued the US economy through the recession though not considering the consequences it could lead to.
ÖZ: 2008 ekonomik krizinin karanlık zamanlarında, Amerika Birleşik Devletler, pek çok ekonomist için alışılmadık ve alışılmışın dışında olan ekonomik faaliyetler gerçekleştirdi. Quantitative easing (QE) olarak bilinen ekonomik faaliyet FED’in hükümetten ve özel sektörden varlık satın alarak piyasadaki nakit parayı arttırmak politikası olarak tariff edilebilir. Bazı ekonomistler FED'in aldığı kararlara katılıyor, buna karşılık diğerleri bu konuda pek iyimser değil. Bu, tezde Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nin büyümesinin QE dahil farklı değişkenlerden nasıl etkilendiğini analiz edilmektedir. Analiz Ocak 2006 ile Temmuz 2021 arasında çoklu regresyon methoduyla yapılmıştır. GSYİH büyüme oranı bağımlı değişken ve QE (M2 para arzı oranı), Enflasyon oranı, Faiz oranı ve Döviz kuru (USD - EUR) bağımsız değişkenler olarak kabul edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, GSYİH oranı ile M2 para arzı oranı arasında güçlü bir negatif ilişki olduğunu gösterdi; bu, QE'nin yol açabileceği sonuçları dikkate almadan ABD ekonomisini durgunluk yoluyla kurtarmış olabileceğini gösteriyor.
