Blog commentators came up with the idea in 2010, and it gained some attention from financial writers and monetary policy followers during the 2011 debt ceiling standoff.
In addition, the maximum expected net monetary benefit (NMB) was calculated for each ceiling ratio value (the value society would be WTP for a QALY gained).
The net monetary benefit was positive for 50% of simulations with a ceiling ratio of $1,000 versus 51% if the ceiling ratio was increased to $100,000.
The government, which bases its monetary policy on inflation targets, set a maximum inflation ceiling of 6percentt last year, but an energy crisis and concern over the fitness of the economy in neighboring Argentina put pressure on the real.
"Short of external shocks, which might include the U.S. debt ceiling, there's not much that can shift monetary policy at the moment," David Tinsley, an economist at BNP Paribas in London, said.
