Computer animation

Motion that speeds up and slows down smoothly

In animation and motion graphics, easing (descended from the hand-drawn principle of "slow in and slow out") is the practice of making motion accelerate out of rest and decelerate into it rather than moving at constant speed, so that it reads as having weight and inertia. Lasseter's 1987 Principles of traditional animation applied to 3D computer animation carried this and the other Disney principles into computer animation, where it is realised as nonlinear interpolation between keyframes. The referent is a timing curve applied to motion, specified by an easing function, and it is a different construct from a garment's fit allowance or a central bank's policy that happen to share the word.[1]

Unit
The shape of the interpolation curve applied to motion between keyframes
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Specified by the easing function (its acceleration and deceleration profile) and judged by the naturalness of the resulting motion

Monetary economics

A central bank loosens financial conditions

In monetary economics, easing means loosening monetary policy to support demand, and quantitative easing is the form it takes when policy rates are already near zero: the central bank buys large quantities of longer-term assets to push down yields and ease broader financial conditions. Krishnamurthy and Vissing-Jorgensen's 2011 The effects of quantitative easing on interest rates traced the channels through which these purchases moved rates and drew out the implications for policy. The referent is a macroeconomic policy action and its transmission to interest rates, and it has nothing to do with garment allowance or animation timing beyond the word.[2]

Unit
The scale of asset purchases and their effect on longer-term interest rates
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Estimated from the response of bond yields and financial conditions to announced and executed asset purchases
