When and How To Exit Quantitative Easing?FED
Three aspects of the Federal Reserve’s exit strategy are important in achieving (or maintaining) maximum gains (if any) in aggregate output and employment under QE: (i) the timing of the exit, (ii) the pace of the exit, and (iii) the private sector’s expectations of when and how the Fed will exit.

Still patient, but for how long?The Economist
For those watching the Federal Reserve's meeting which ended today, no news was good news.

Daily MacroWSJ
Asian and European markets took comfort from the slightly more dovish tilt to the latest Federal Reserve policy meeting than some had been expecting. Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s emphasis on the fact that rates would stay low “for a considerable time” after the latest bond purchase program winds down next month soothed fears that the Fed will seek to tighten soon after the turn of the year. On the other side of the Atlantic, the European Central Bank announced a rather disappointing take-up of its latest cheap funding measures for banks, designed to get them lending to small businesses and households starved of credit. And the U.K. is in the throes of the Scottish independence referendum. The likely outcome remains tilted toward a “No” but it’s an increasingly close call. Meanwhile, the Chinese housing market’s weakness highlights why the country’s central bank made a major liquidity infusion into state banks this week.

Venäjä-pakotteet ovat suuri riskiTalSa
Venäjään kohdistetut talouspakotteet voivat johtaa arvaamattomiin seurauksiin – jotka ovat erilaisia kuin toivomme.

"Ei myönnetä, että Suomi on saanut pahasti siipeensä"TalSa
Palkansaajien tutkimuslaitoksen mukaan Venäjä-pakotteet haittaavat Suomen taloutta enemmän kuin virallisesti on annettu ymmärtää. Laitoksen ekonomistien mielestä tilanne pitäisi myöntää, jotta EU-komissio ei tulkitse Suomen talousongelmia rakenteellisiksi.
