A qualitative assessment of quantitative easing sentiment
通过分析美国、英国和欧盟社交媒体上关于量化宽松的推文，发现公众情绪强烈负面（71.27%），并提炼出反政府、反央行、不平等、无效、通胀等主题，为央行恢复公众信任提供建议。
Abstract This mixed‐method study undertakes a comprehensive inquiry of the public discourse on social media surrounding quantitative easing (QE) across the US, the UK, and the European Union. Utilizing a unique tweet dataset, we reveal the sentiment polarity toward QE policy to be strongly negative, at 71.27%, with positive sentiment a mere 4.25%. Distilling the negative QE sentiment, we identify prominent themes of “anti‐government,” “anti‐central bank,” “inequality,” “ineffectiveness,” “inflation,” and “asset inflation,” and demonstrate a longitudinal association between perceived inequality and asset price inflation with an anti‐establishment stance. We conclude with suggested central bank policy recommendations to restore and foster public trust.
