New Substack talking about QE's funding bonanza to tech startups! Why were investors were so happy to wait patiently while founders burned throughout GDP-levels of cash for +10 years on companies which still aren't particularly profitable? wbateman.substack.com/p/breeding-u...

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.

🚨Current scholarship! In this article, Prof. Bateman explores the communication strategies through which central bankers in Japan and the US downplayed the fiscal effects of quantitative easing programs, raising interesting questions about central bank independence and the fiscal/monetary divide. 🏦💸
