That doesn't necessarily have to be inflationary. It all depends on when and by how much they do this, and what happens to the demand for Scott Grannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028519647946868684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-46352416211091743712013-07-24T09:49:20.755-07:002013-07-24T09:49:20.755-07:00Scott, if the Fed winds down the bond buying to ze...Scott, if the Fed winds down the bond buying to zero while keeping the Fed Funds Rate at near zero (or not raising the rate it pays on reserves), what would be the likelihood of inflation then?

When the Fed decides to begin "tightening" policy, it will only be able to do so by raising short-term interest rates, beginning with the rate it pays on bank reserves. The funds rate is no longer an effective tool, because of the abundance of bank reserves.
