In this thesis there are presented the reasons why bond yields are
particularly low, especially the 10-year bond, in the European countries and the
United States of America (USA). By using quarterly data from the first quarter of
1960 until the fourth quarter of 2015 there are presented and examined the
factors that primarily influence the formation of bond yields. Then within the
frame of an empirical research on the following countries, France, Germany,
Italy, Switzerland, England and the USA, with the usage of the Ramsey Model it
is examined the impact of monetary policy expressed through quantitative
easing in shaping the yield of 10-year bonds of these countries. From the
analysis, it appears that the quantitative easing policy applied by the European
Central Bank, the Central Banks of England, Switzerland and the United States
has squeezed the existing low yields of the 10-year bonds. Finally, in the
concluding section, are presented the risks imposed by the low bond yields and
by the QE policy.
