Low interest rates, low productivity, low growth? A multi-sector case study of UK-based firms’ funding and investment strategies in the context of loose monetary policy
Low productivity growth in a low interest rate environment is a perennial problem for both UK monetary policy and the UK economy more generally.

In contrast, we present the case that extraordinary monetary policies are characterised by an intensification of rather than a departure from previous monetary…
