A large majority of economists — 62% — think the Federal Reserve's $600 billion bond-purchase program, also known as quantitative easing, is helping to support U.S. growth. The National Association for Business Economics (NABE) reported that finding recently after surveying 263 of its members.

Of the survey respondents, 21.8% thought quantitative easing was having no impact and 15.8% said it was harmful. When asked about the level of monetary stimulus, slightly more than half said it's just right and 41% described it as too stimulative.
