Home What's New Careers Glossary ... Publications FRBSF Economic Letter 99-04; January 29, 1999 Economic Letter Index The Goals of U.S. Monetary Policy The evolution of the Fed's legislative mandate The debate about the Fed's current mandate References In this Letter , we spell out the evolution of the legislation governing U.S. monetary policy goals and summarize the debate about whether they could be improved. The evolution of the Fed's legislative mandate The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 did not incorporate any macroeconomic goals for monetary policy, but instead required the Fed to "provide an elastic currency." This meant that the Fed should help the economy avoid the financial panics and bank runs that plagued the 19th century by serving as a "lender of last resort," which involved making loans directly to depository institutions through the discount windows of the Reserve Banks. During this early period, most of the actions of monetary policy that affected the macro economy were determined by the U.S. government's adherence to the gold standard. The trauma of the Great Depression, coupled with the insights of Keynes (1936), led to an acknowledgment of the obligation of the federal government to prevent recessions. The Employment Act of 1946 was the first legislative statement of these macroeconomic policy goals. Although it did not specifically mention the Federal Reserve, it required the federal government in general to foster "conditions under which there will be afforded useful employment opportunities ... for those able, willing, and seeking to work, and to promote maximum employment, production, and purchasing power."

To summarize, 2003 seems to have marked the turning point for the us economy, and we http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/speeches/2004/20040104/default.htm

Remarks by Governor Ben S. Bernanke At the Meetings of the American Economic Association, San Diego, California January 4, 2004 Monetary Policy and the Economic Outlook: 2004 The turn of the year is the traditional time to review the high and low points of the year just past and to contemplate the challenges that lie ahead in the year just begun. In that spirit, I will provide a brief progress report on the economic recovery, as well as some remarks on the evolution of monetary policy. As always, the views I will express are my own and are not to be attributed to my colleagues on the Board of Governors or the Federal Open Market Committee. Despite all this adversity, there could never have been any doubt that the diversified and resilient U.S. economy, assisted by ample monetary and fiscal stimulus, would eventually stage a comeback. After several false starts, it now appears that that comeback began in earnest in the summer of 2003. As you know, the third quarter of the year displayed near-record levels of real economic growth, in the vicinity of 8 percent at an annual rate, and growth appears to have continued strong in the fourth quarter of 2003. The most heartening aspect of this vigorous expansion is that, finally, the business sector appears to have emerged from its funk. Corporate investment has been strong, particularly in equipment and software, and there are some recent signs that both inventory investment and hiring have begun to pick up. Of course, downside risks to the economy remain: The recovery in capital investment may prove less durable than it now appears, the moderation of fiscal stimulus in the latter part of next year could adversely affect household spending, or new unfavorable shocksgeopolitical or otherwisemay yet appear. Still, the incoming data have continued for the most part to surprise on the upside, and the odds accordingly have increased that 2003 will be remembered as the year when this recovery turned the corner. Private-sector forecasters generally expect real growth to be approximately 4 percent in 2004, and they foresee modest improvements in the unemployment rate this year and continued reductions in unemployment in 2005. I think these predictions are broadly reasonable, and indeed I would not be surprised if the pace of real growth next year exceeded 4 percent.

Home Search Contact Feedback ... Agriculture The role of government in the American economy extends far beyond its activities as a regulator of specific industries. The government also manages the overall pace of economic activity, seeking to maintain high levels of employment and stable prices. It has two main tools for achieving these objectives: fiscal policy, through which it determines the appropriate level of taxes and spending; and monetary policy, through which it manages the supply of money. By the late 1990s, the nation was experiencing a gratifying combination of strong growth, low unemployment, and slow inflation. The federal government's chief source of funds to cover its expenses is the income tax on individuals, which in 1999 brought in about 48 percent of total federal revenues. Payroll taxes, which finance the Social Security and Medicare programs, have become increasingly important as those programs have grown. In 1998, payroll taxes accounted for one-third of all federal revenues; employers and workers each had to pay an amount equal to 7.65 percent of their wages up to $68,400 a year. The federal government raises another 10 percent of its revenue from a tax on corporate profits, while miscellaneous other taxes account for the remainder of its income.

On the positive side, real disposable personal income rose nearly 6 percent in 2002, the fastest increase in many years. Strong productivity growth partially offset the effects of stagnant employment in restricting the growth of household income, and the phase-in of additional tax reductions from the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 boosted household purchasing power appreciably.

Monetary Policy Monetary policy is one of the tools that a national Government uses to influence its economy. Using its monetary authority to control the supply and availablity of money, a government attempts to influence the overall level of economic activity in line with its political objectives. Usually this goal is "macroeconomic stability" - low unemployment, low inflation, economic growth, and a balance of external payments. Monetary policy is usually administered by a Government appointed "Central Bank", the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve Bank in the United States. Central banks have not always existed. In early economies, governments would supply currency by minting precious metals with their stamp. No matter what the creditworthiness of the government, the worth of the currency depended on the value of its underlying precious metal. A coin was worth its gold or silver content, as it could always be melted down to this. A country's worth and economic clout was largely to its holdings of gold and silver in the national treasury. Monarchs, despots and even democrats tried to skirt this inviolate law by filing down their coinage or mixing in other substances to make more coins out of the same amount of gold or silver. They were inevitably found out by the traders, money lenders and others who depended on the worth of that currency. This the reason that movies show pirates and thieves biting Spanish dubloons to ascertain the value of their booty and loot.

Printer Friendly Version Email this Article Monetary Policy And Gold Heinrich Leopold The recent correction in the commodity markets has raised an essential question: Is the current cycle for commodities at its end or will the trend go on for some time ? To answer this question it is important to understand the major drivers for investments. In my previous articles the main conclusion has been that monetary aggregates - as shown in the next graphs - are the main drivers for economic activity. Thus, these aggregates are also the drivers for profits and higher stock prices as more money is the fuel for any economy. Monetary aggregates are also the main drivers for commodities and - as shown in this article - also the cause for any movements in gold. There has been an unprecedent increase of M3 money supply over the latest decade. This has made many analysts to believe that M3 growth will eventually lead to a higher gold price and higher inflation. Nevertheless, the following chart shows no positive correlation between M3 money supply and the gold price. In the contrary, there exists a strong inverse correlation. M3 growth leads to a lower gold price and is therefore deflationary and not inflationary. This has been once again proven by the steady rise of gold exactly when M3 growth declined (please read my previous articles). On the other side, there is a strong positive correlation between gold and M1 growth. M1 represents cash or cash deposits and can be therefore seen as the real indicator for more money in the economic system. M1 is a very strong leading indicator for a rise in the gold price. The peaks in M1 just happened one or two years before the peak in the gold price, which in turn has been leading other commodities as well as interest rates.

18. International Dimensions To U.S. Monetary Policy exchange rate regimes require the emerging economy to follow the same monetary policy as the us regardless of its appropriateness to local economic conditions. http://www.house.gov/jec/fed/intern.htm

International Dimensions to U.S. Monetary Policy Executive Summary Financial markets continue to become increasingly integrated internationally; capital is evermore mobile. The U.S. dollar continues to remain the world’s principal international currency despite evolving exchange rate arrangements. Official and unofficial dollarization has continued in several emerging market economies. International Dimensions to U.S. Monetary Policy I. Introduction These international considerations can be taken into account by anchoring prices with a price stabilization policy goal and using key market price indicators as policy guides. Recent Trends and Developments Increasing Financial Integration and Growing Capital Mobility. Most economists now recognize the inexorable trend toward globalization or growing international integration of financial markets and increasing capital mobility. Empirical results, for example, increasingly provide evidence of growing capital mobility. In particular, data on capital flows as well as interest rate differentials indicate that a growing degree of capital market integration or increased capital mobility has occurred since the 1970s. The U.S. economy, along with most other economies, is more open. Many experts believe these trends are largely inevitable and irreversible, partly because they are being driven by communications and informational technological change and partly because policymakers increasingly recognize the many compelling benefits of regulatory changes that foster financial integration.
