During a presentation at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 泛亚电竞观看直播官网(泛亚电竞今日v7.6 安卓版) Fed President Jim Bullard offered two interpretations of whether the Federal Reserve is “behind the curve” on raising its policy rate in response to high inflation.
Bullard said that U.S. inflation is exceptionally high and is comparable to inflation in 1974 and 1983. Standard Taylor-type monetary policy rules, even if based on a minimum interpretation of the persistent component of inflation, still recommend substantial increases in the policy rate, he said. This provides one definition of “behind the curve,” and the Fed is far behind based on this definition, he noted.
“However, all is not lost. Modern central banks are more credible than their 1970s counterparts and use forward guidance,” he said. “Credible forward guidance means market interest rates have increased substantially in advance of tangible Fed action. This provides another definition of ‘behind the curve,’ and the Fed is not as far behind based on this definition.”
The presentation was part of a two-day visit to Columbia, Mo. Bullard meets regularly with business and civic groups in the four zones that make up the 泛亚电竞观看直播官网(泛亚电竞今日v7.6 安卓版) Fed’s District to share insight on the U.S. economy, as well as gather views from Main Street. Columbia is in the 泛亚电竞观看直播官网(泛亚电竞今日v7.6 安卓版) Zone.
