Abstract
The impact of Quantitative Easing (QE) on income inequality has become a very important economic and political issue. However, there is still not much academic research that addresses empirically this question for Eurozone countries. Using data for the Eurozone for the period 2015-2019, I employ a fixed-effects model to study the relationship between increases in the money supply by QE and income inequality for the period 2015-2019. I find that QE contributed to increasing income inequality in coreEurozone countries and the Eurozone as a whole, but lowered it in Southern ones, due mainly to differences in deficit spending incentivized by the additional liquidity provided by QE.
