Alan Greenspan Robert McTeer, Jr. Lawrence Kudlow Zanny Minton-Beddoes Benjamin Friedman Alan Levenson Mickey D. Levy James Gwartney William A. Niskanen Manuel H. Johnson Charles I. Plosser Has the New Economy made traditional tools of monetary policy obsolete or simply made it more difficult for central banks to conduct policy? What should the Fed do? At the Cato Institute's 18th Annual Monetary Conference, cosponsored with The Economist, leading policymakers and monetary experts will discuss those questions and related issues. The unprecedented expansion of the U.S. economy has shown that recessions are the result of government policy mistakes—especially unexpectedly restrictive monetary policy—rather than inherent to a market economy. Until the last year or so, the Federal Reserve steered an even course, but there is no guarantee of future policy success. If money growth is too rapid, it will have to be reversed, in the hope of achieving a "soft landing." And if it is too restrictive, a recession is unavoidable. It is thus important to consider the role of monetary policy in the New Economy and how best to stay on a course of stable nominal income growth and low inflation, so that market forces can work their magic.

Jump to the Navigation Bar Monetary Policy Rules and Macroeconomic Stability: Evidence and Some Theory Richard Clarida Jordi Gali Mark Gertler NBER Working Paper No. w6442 Issued in March 1998 A non-technical summary of this paper is available in the October 1998 NBER digest Abstract - We estimate a forward-looking monetary policy reaction function for the postwar US economy, pre- and post-October 1979. Our results point to substantial differences in the estimated rule across periods. In particular, interest rate policy in the Volcker-Greenspan period appears to have been much more sensitive to changes in expected inflation than in the pre-Volcker period. We then compare some of the implications of the estimated rules for equilibrium properties of inflation and output, using a simple macroeconomic model. The pre-Volcker rule is shown to be consistent with the possibility of persistent, self-fulfilling fluctuations in inflation and output. In contrast, the Volcker-Greenspan rule is stabilizing.

In the same sense, there is a trade-off in society between using resources to consume products today and investing those resources to produce capital goods that will help create more and better products tomorrow. But unlike the fly-fishing scenario, those who forego consumption for saving are not necessarily those who produce capital goods by investing. In a free market economy, savers and investors are brought together in financial, or capital, markets. When you put your savings in a bank account or mutual fund, for example, a lot of that money is loaned to businesses to finance the purchase or production of capital goods such as plants and machinery and new equipment. But when you save money, it isn't just for a rainy day; it's to earn more money in the form of interest. The interest you earn when you save comes from the cost that businesses pay when they borrow to invest in capital goods.

Search Site Search Card Catalog Search a Book Home ... and Help Monetary Policy by James Tobin Paul Volcker, while chairman of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System (1979-87), was often called the second most powerful person in the United States. Volcker and company triggered the "double-dip" recessions of 1979-80 and 1981-82, vanquishing the double-digit inflation of 1979-80 and bringing the unemployment rate into double digits for the first time since 1940. Volcker then declared victory over inflation and piloted the economy through its long 1980s recovery, bringing unemployment below 5.5 percent, half a point lower than in the 1978-79 boom. Volcker was powerful because he was making monetary policy. His predecessors were powerful too. At least four of the previous seven postwar recessions can be attributed to their anti-inflationary policies. Likewise, Alan Greenspan's Federal Reserve bears the main responsibility for the 1990-91 recession. Central banks are powerful everywhere, although few are as independent of their governments as the Fed is of Congress and the White House. Central bank actions are the most important government policies affecting economic activity from quarter to quarter or year to year. Monetary policy is the subject of a lively controversy between two schools of economics, monetarist and Keynesian. Although they agree on goals, they disagree sharply on priorities, strategies, targets, and tactics. As I explain how monetary policy works, I shall discuss these disagreements. At the outset I disclose that I am a Keynesian.

EXPERTS PRESS RELEASES TRANSCRIPTS / VIDEOS OP-EDS / ARTICLES ... BY TOPIC Article The U.S. Economy at the New Year By Roger M. Kubarych Council on Foreign Relations January 07, 2004 What a difference a year makes! Coming into 2003, the US economy was barely moving. Growth in the fourth quarter of 2002 was just 1.3%, but business investment was actually falling. Manufacturing had never come out of its own, deeper recession. Much of what spending growth there was came from a military build-up that would eventually reach a peak in the spring offensive against Iraq. The Fed was doing research on deflation and on running monetary policy at close to zero interest rates. Meanwhile, the Bush administration, mindful of the approaching election year and emboldened by the remarkable Republican gains in the just-completed Congressional elections, crafted a policy stimulus program that would rival all previous US experiments at Keynesian fiscal activism. At the time practically no one took those proposals seriously, neither professional economists nor most of the press. Cynics took for granted that the normal inertia in Congress and parliamentary maneuvering by disgruntled Democrats would either block or greatly water down such an ambitious undertaking. They were wrong. In sharp contrast to Japan in the 1990s and Europe in the 2000s, the economic powers-that-be in the Washington of 2003 decided to go all out for growth, with a trifecta of historically easy monetary policy, expansionary fiscal policy, and tolerance, if not overt support, for a depreciation of the currency. The standard textbook prediction soon came true. The stimulus succeeded in sparking a huge surge of economic activity.

In the context of the international economy, this is a time of great uncertainty. The recent, abrupt slowing of the US economy has obviously led some commentators to worry that this might have a large and significant impact on the UK economy as well. However, indicators of business or consumer confidence in the UK have not changed in a consistent direction in recent months, with some even having improved since the news of a sharper-than-expected slowing in the US first emerged (see Table1). TABLE 1 SOME RECENT SELECTED SURVEY INDICATORS OF THE UK ECONOMY INDICATOR MOST RECENT VALUE VALUE IN NOVEMBER 2000 OPTIMISM CBI Quarterly Industrial Trends Survey GfK Consumer Confidence CIPS Services EXPORT ORDERS CIPS Manfacturing Notes: Moreover, many observers have argued that since the UK's exports to the US are worth only around 5% of GDP, the direct impact of a slowing over there might be relatively modest over here. Hence, it is not surprising that simulations using macroeconometric models

About the RBA Statistics Speeches Media Releases ... Contact Us STATEMENT ON MONETARY POLICY May 2004 The material in this Statement on Monetary Policy was finalised on 5 May 2004. The first chapter of this Statement is provided below. The complete Statement can be viewed as a 690K PDF file. Introduction Developments so far in 2004 suggest that the international economic climate is continuing to improve. In Australia, growth remains solid, and a turning point appears to have been reached in the housing market after the overheated levels of late last year, though it is still unclear how this will evolve. These developments suggest a lessening of the main risks to the Australian economy, and improve the prospects for more balanced growth in the period ahead. International events in recent months have been dominated by the US economy, where stronger employment data have helped to confirm that the recovery is becoming more firmly established. With business investment and profits growing strongly and business confidence high, the US recovery has now broadened well beyond its initial reliance on consumer spending. Another important development in the US has been a pick-up in the latest inflation figures. While core inflation remains low at this stage, it is looking increasingly likely that the downward trend evident over the past year or two has ended. As discussed below, financial markets viewed these events as bringing forward the likely timing of monetary policy tightening in the US.

ECB PRESS RELEASE Monetary policy decisions 17 September 2001 Following the terrorist attacks on the US, uncertainty about the US and the world economy has increased. The Federal Open Market Committee has reacted by lowering its target for the federal funds rate today. In concert with this decision, the Governing Council of the ECB met today by means of teleconferencing and took the following monetary policy decisions: The minimum bid rate on the main refinancing operations of the Eurosystem will be reduced by 0.50 percentage point to 3.75%. Differently from what was communicated in an announcement at 3.30 p.m. today, this change in the minimum bid rate will be effective starting from tomorrow's operation, which is to be settled on 19 September 2001. A new announcement with the revised rates is also being transmitted through wire services. The interest rate on the marginal lending facility will be reduced by 0.50 percentage point to 4.75%, with effect from 18 September 2001. The interest rate on the deposit facility will be reduced by 0.50 percentage point to 2.75%, with effect from 18 September 2001.

Parry UNCERTAIN FUTURE PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH COMPLICATES MONETARY POLICY IN A LOW-INFLATION, LOW-UNEMPLOYMENT ECONOMY. Faster productivity growth rates are consistent with the remarkable combination of fast GDP growth, low unemployment, and low inflation the U.S. economy has enjoyed recently. Yet there are uncertainties about this productivity growth, not only because of measurement problems, but, more fundamentally, because one cannot tell at this early stage whether the productivity surge is a cause or a result of today's fast output growth, and, if it's a cause, how long it will last. These uncertainties complicate the question of where the Fed should be along the spectrum of more pre-emptive action or more cautious action. I have been asked to address "risks in the economic outlook." My focus will be broad and long-run, and I believe that late in 1999 is an especially good time to do this.

Parry In the past thirty years the global economy has undergone tremendous change and become increasingly more integrated. World trade has grown much faster than world output, and international capital flows have expanded still more rapidly. The increased integration of international markets for goods and services is attributable to a steady liberalization of trade barriers since World War II, falling costs of transportation, and the spread of production technology across national boundaries. As a result of these developments, households and businesses in all countries have come to depend increasingly on foreign sources of supply for consumption goods and raw materials. Firms no longer view their markets as being constrained by national borders; instead, they look to foreign nations as potential markets. As new technology spreads throughout the world, production location decisions are determined more by production costs, and production activity and its associated flow of components have been dispersed around the world. At the same time, increased integration of international financial markets has been prompted by technology, ingenuity, and deregulation. Technological advances in communications and computers have revolutionized the speed with which financial information about asset returns and risk is collected, processed, and disseminated throughout the world. Advances in the understanding of finance have helped accelerate the innovation of new instruments to manage financial risk. In addition, wide-ranging deregulation of domestic and cross-border financial flows has allowed greater scope for competitive forces in financial markets and spurred the growth of various forms of financial intermediation.

Semi-Daily Journal The Semi-Daily Journal of Economist Brad DeLong Main July 14, 2003 U.S. Monetary Policy Greg Ip of the Wall Street Journal is hearing interesting things about the ideas that the Federal Reserve is thinking about these days: WSJ.com - Greenspan Has Opportunity To Clarify the Fed's Message : ...Greenspan... remains more optimistic than many of his colleagues and likely will cite scattered evidence of the postwar pickup he long has expected, while acknowledging hard evidence is scarce. He may emphasize that there is so much unemployment and unused capacity in the economy that inflation remains likely to edge lower. Markets also will look to Mr. Greenspan for hints about the Fed's views on unconventional monetary policy, given that short-term interest rates are at a 45-year low. They may not get much. While Fed policy makers discussed these options at length at their June meeting, there is no sign they have emerged with any consensus. Mr. Greenspan himself appears uneasy about the unpredictable consequences of unconventional policies, whether buying bonds or committing to hold down the funds rate for a particular period of time or until some economic target is met. Mr. Greenspan, however, could reassure the public that the Fed has plenty of room for conventional stimulus. He has noted that cutting the funds rate closer to zero creates difficulties in the financial system such as depriving money-market funds of the ability to cover their expenses. But Fed officials are coming to believe such problems in the financial system would be an acceptable price for additional stimulus, and Mr. Greenspan may debunk the notion that the Fed won't cut the federal-funds rate below 0.75% or 0.5%...
