Abstract
In a liquidity trap, the conventional expansionary monetary policy is not an effective way to stimulate economic activity. The orthodox Keynesian model poses a situation of this sort as an extreme case, which has been used to justify the importance of fiscal policy. This paper aims to conduct a qualitative and quantitative analysis (using bibliometric techniques) to explore the recent literature about the liquidity trap. The way in which the number of publications in the period 1973-2015 evolved points to the economic events (Japanese depression in the nineteen-nineties and the 2007-2008 global financial crisis) that revived academic interest in studying this topic. We believe that these results offer a very accurate schematic overview of the current research agenda.
