Abstract: 
We fielded a representative survey among the German population randomly assigning respondents to various unconventional monetary policy scenarios that raise household income. We find that in all policy treatments people spend almost 40% of the transfer. Spending shares are independent of whether the transfer is debt financed and provided by the government or provided by the central bank as "helicopter money".
