Supplementary notes

Helicopter money is an economic term which was originally mentioned by Milton Friedman in 1969. It represents the concept of giving the population free money, as if a helicopter was flying over a country and dropping money on the population below. If the population was to spend that money, it could give a boost to the local economy.

This question was phrased by the source as follows: "What do you think will be the effects after 12 months if the ECB/central bank of your country distributed money in this way? Prices will be ... compared with not doing this." The numbers shown here depict the respondents answering 'Higher'.
