Policy Anchors for Turbulent Times

 

Since the financial crisis, there has been considerable reliance on monetary policy to stabilize and stimulate the economy.  With slow growth and policy rates near zero, there has been an increasing recognition of the limited efficacy of monetary policy “pushing on a string” to support economic growth in the next recession.  Many senior academics and experienced policy advisors are calling for a renewed emphasis on fiscal policy. However, this requires monetary and fiscal integration and anchors to support economic growth and keep inflation low and stable.  TABE/CABE is very fortunate that Dr. David Dodge, arguably the most experienced practitioner of both monetary and fiscal policy in recent history, has agreed to provide us his perspective on the policy issues.
