Thomas M. Humphrey . . . the real bills criterion sets no effective limit to the quantity of money. Milton Friedman and Anna J. Schwartz A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960

With recession lingering and interest rates remaining high, one hears increasingly that the Fed should abandon its money growth targets and move to a policy of lowering interest rates to full employment levels. All would be well, we are told, if only the Fed would set a fixed low interest rate target consistent with full employment and then let the money stock adjust to money demand t</description>

      <description>The Taylor Curve and the Unemployment-Inflation Tradeoff
BY SATYAJIT CHATTERJEE

n the past, monetary policy options were described in terms of a tradeoff between the unemployment rate and the inflation rate, the so-called Phillips curve. Macroeconomists no longer view the Phillips curve as a viable &#8220;policy menu&#8221; because its use as such is inconsistent with mainstream macroeconomic theory. In the late 1970s, John Taylor suggested an alternative set of options for policymakers to consider, one consistent with macroeconomic theory. These alternative options involve a tradeoff between the var</description>

Monetary Policy Transmission to Residential Investment
Introduction

T

he volatility of residential investment has declined considerably since the mid-1980s (Chart 1). The timing of this reduction in volatility corresponds to the timing of a fundamental restructuring of the housing finance system, from a heavily regulated system dominated by thrift institutions (savings and loans and mutual savings banks) to a relatively unregulated system dominated by mortgage bankers and brokers and the process of mortgage securitization. With this restructuring, the </description>

Securitization and the Efficacy of Monetary Policy
I. Introduction
result in terms of inflation or output, it may be necessary to make a larger policy move than was required earlier. Section III describes the markets in which securitization has grown the most in recent years. The analysis suggests that the more prominently these markets feature in the monetary transmission mechanism, the more likely it is that they have contributed to a reduction in the efficacy of policy moves. We then construct in Section IV some simple empirical macroeconomic models with an explicit role fo</description>

Houses as Collateral: Has the Link between House Prices and Consumption in the U.K. Changed?
I. Introduction

S

ignificant attention is paid by policymakers in the United Kingdom to the relationship between house prices, the business cycle, and inflation, on account of the pronounced procyclical pattern of house prices. Are house prices a symptom of macroeconomic conditions? Or are there important feedback effects from house prices to real variables? As this paper shows, the data suggest that there is a strong comovement of house prices with c</description>

Christopher Erceg&#8727; Federal Reserve Board Christopher Gust Federal Reserve Board David L&#180;pez-Salido o Federal Reserve Board and CEPR November 2007
Abstract: This paper uses an open economy DSGE model to explore how trade openness a&#64256;ects the transmission of domestic shocks. For some calibrations, closed and open economies appear dramatically di&#64256;erent, reminiscent of the implications of Mundell-Fleming style models. However, we argue such stark di&#64256;erences hinge on calibrations that impose an implausibly high trade price elasticity and</description>

by Ana Aizcorbe, Carol Corrado, and Mark Doms* Industrial Output Section, Division of Research and Statistics Federal Reserve Board, Washington D.C. 20551 July 26, 2000

ABSTRACT

In most markets for high technology goods, the life of a specific product variety is short, and many varieties are bought and sold at once. Using data for computers and semiconductors that are very disaggregate and available at a high frequency, we find that matched-model superlative price indexes capture the rapid pace of quality change in these good</description>

*Executive Summary

Research shows that the economic returns from investments in early childhood development programs are substantial due to productivity gains in the workforce and cost savings to society. The quality of life an adult enjoys and the contributions he or she makes to society can be traced, in part, back to his or her first few years of life. From birth through age</description>

March 2007

Abstract: We examine international markups and pricing in a generalized version of Lancaster&#8217;s &#8216;ideal variety&#8217; model. In this model, entry causes crowding in variety space, so that the marginal utility of new varieties falls as market size grows. Crowding is partially offset by income effects, as richer consumers will pay more for varieties closer matched to their ideal types. We show theoretically and confirm empirically that declini</description>

Introduction If one positive thing can be said about the Asian crisis and subsequent discussions of how to strengthen the international financial architecture, it is that they breathed new life into a moribund debate on the consequences of exchange-rate arrangements. Curiously, early contributions to post-Asia literature about how to make the world a safer financial place said little about the choice of exchange rate regime, focusing instead on transparency, prudential supervision, policy toward capital flows, and IMF r</description>

HOW HAS GLOBALIZATION AFFECTED INFLATION?

I

nflation in advanced and many emerging market economies has remained remarkably subdued over the past two years despite a significant rise in commodity prices, strong growth, and a broadly accommodating monetary policy stance in the major currency areas. Is this situation sustainable or does it foreshadow unwelcome inflation surprises in the near future? Some analysts have argued that low and stable inflation reflects more intense global competition, which prevents firms from raising prices and puts downward pressures on wages in many </description>

Deeper transformation and wider diffusion of IT throughout the US economy will bring about a second wave of productivity growth. To that end, an international value chain should increasingly produce not only hardware but also software and services, which will lead to a decline in the prices of software and services, thus making the overall IT package aff</description>
