   主題:The Impacts of US QE on China’s Business Cycles: A Perspective Based on Dollar Hegemony
   摘要:this paper models the US dollar as a global currency and focuses on the spillover effects of the US Quantitative Easing (QE) on China’s economy. Exchange rate targeting and capital controls in the context of dollar hegemony are investigated. Given a positive US money supply shock, both the inflation and real GDP of China will be below their steady state levels in the medium term; while for the US there is no inflation pressure. And the spillover of liquidity effect exists. Given that the US dollars hegemony is not weakened, the regime with liberalized capital accounts and an exchange rate peg to the US dollar for China is best for Chinese households under the US money supply shock. However, when the US dollar is no longer the global reserve currency but instead a supranational reserve currency replaces it, then for China this regime is the worst kind of reform, no matter whether or not the dollar standard in international trade is maintained.
