3 What Is Monetary Policy? Monetary policy: The actions the Federal Reserve takes to manage the money supply and interest rates to pursue its economic objectives. The Goals of Monetary Policy: 1. Price stability 2. High employment 3. Stability of financial markets and institutions 4. Economic growth
4 1. Price stability: Rising prices erode the value of money as a medium of exchange and a store of value. Three Fed chairmen, Volcker, Greenspan, and Bernanke, argued that if inflation is low over the long-run, the Fed will have the flexibility it needs to lessen the impact of recessions. 2. High unemployment: Unemployed workers and underused factories and buildings reduce GDP below its potential level. Unemployment causes financial distress as well as some social problems. 3. Stability of financial markets and institutions: When financial markets and institutions are not effi cient in matching savers and borrowers, resources are lost. The financial crisis brought this issue to the forefront. 4. Economic growth: Policymakers aim to encourage stable EG because stable growth allows HHs and firms to plan accurately and encourages the long-run investment that is needed to sustain growth. EG is key to raising standard of living. Policy can spur EG by providing incentives for savings and investment.
5 What Is Monetary Policy? The Goals of Monetary Policy 14.1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Define monetary policy and describe the Federal Reserve s monetary policy goals. Price Stability Figure 14-1 The Inflation Rate, January 1952 July 2009 Chapter 14: Monetary Policy For most of the 1950s and 1960s, the inflation rate in the United States was 4 percent or less. During the 1970s, the inflation rate increased, peaking during , when it averaged more than 10 percent. After 1992 the inflation rate was usually less than 4 percent, until increases in oil prices pushed it above 5 percent during summer The effects of the recession caused several months of deflation a falling price level during early Note: The inflation rate is measured as the percentage change in the consumer price index (CPI) from the same month in the previous year.

6 Monetary Policy Targets MP targets can be achieved by using its policy tools (three tools). Sometimes, the Fed can achieve multiple goals successfully: it can take actions that increase both employment and economic growth because both are closely related. At other times, the Fed encounters conflicts bw its policy goals. E.g., increasing interest rates can reduce the inflation rate but reduce EG (by reducing HHs and firms spending). In this case, many economists support that the Fed should focus mainly on achieving price stability.
7 (Conti.) The Fed can t affect both the unemployment and inflation rates directly. Instead, it uses monetary policy targets, that it can affect directly and that, in turn, affect variables that are closely related to the Fed s policy goals (e.g. real GDP and the PL). The two monetary policy targets are: 1. the money supply 2. the interest rate. The Fed typically uses the interest rate as its policy target.
8 The Money Market and the Fed s Choice of MP Targets How the Fed Manages the Money Supply: A Quick Review We have discussed how the Fed manages the MS 8 times every time the FOMC decides whether to increase the MP or not by OMOs. Equilibrium in the Money Market For simplicity, assume that the Fed is able to completely fix the MS. Therefore, the MS is a vertical line, and changes in the IR has no effect on the MS.
9 The Money Market and the Fed s Choice of Monetary Policy Targets The Demand for Money 14.2 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Describe the Federal Reserve s monetary policy targets and explain how expansionary and contractionary monetary policies affect the interest rate. Figure 14-2 Chapter 14: Monetary Policy The Demand for Money The money demand curve slopes downward because lower interest rates cause households and firms to switch from financial assets such as U.S. Treasury bills to money. All other things being equal, a fall in the interest rate from 4 percent to 3 percent will increase the quantity of money demanded from $900 billion to $950 billion. An increase in the interest rate will decrease the quantity of money demanded. Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Macroeconomics R. Glenn Hubbard, Anthony Patrick O Brien, 3e. 9of 38
10 The Money Market and the Fed s Choice of Monetary Policy Targets Shifts in the Money Demand Curve 14.2 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Describe the Federal Reserve s monetary policy targets and explain how expansionary and contractionary monetary policies affect the interest rate. Figure 14-3 Shifts in the Money Demand Curve Chapter 14: Monetary Policy Changes in real GDP or the price level cause the money demand curve to shift. An increase in real GDP or an increase in the price level will cause the money demand curve to shift from MD 1 to MD 2. A decrease in real GDP or a decrease in the price level will cause the money demand curve to shift from MD 1 to MD 3. Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Macroeconomics R.

11 Chapter 14: Monetary Policy The Money Market and the Fed s Choice of Monetary Policy Targets How the Fed Manages the Money Supply: A Quick Review Equilibrium in the Money Market Figure 14-4 The Impact on the Interest Rate When the Fed Increases the Money Supply When the Fed increases the money supply, households and firms will initially hold more money than they want, relative to other financial assets. Households and firms use the money they don t want to hold to buy Treasury bills and make deposits in interestpaying bank accounts. This increase in demand allows banks and sellers of Treasury bills and similar securities to offer lower interest rates. Eventually, interest rates will fall enough that households and firms will be willing to hold the additional money the Fed has created. In the figure, an increase in the money supply from $900 billion to $950 billion causes the money supply curve to shift to the right, from MS 1 to MS 2, and causes the equilibrium interest rate to fall from 4 percent to 3 percent.

12 The Money Market and the Fed s Choice of Monetary Policy Targets Equilibrium in the Money Market Figure 14-5 The Impact on Interest Rates When the Fed Decreases the Money Supply 14.2 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Describe the Federal Reserve s monetary policy targets and explain how expansionary and contractionary monetary policies affect the interest rate. Chapter 14: Monetary Policy When the Fed decreases the money supply, households and firms will initially hold less money than they want, relative to other financial assets. Households and firms will sell Treasury bills and other financial assets and withdraw money from interest-paying bank accounts. These actions will increase interest rates. Eventually, interest rates will rise to the point at which households and firms will be willing to hold the smaller amount of money that results from the Fed s actions. In the figure, a reduction in money supply from $900 billion to $850 billion causes the money supply curve to shift to the left, from MS 1 to MS 2, and causes the equilibrium interest rate to rise from 4 percent to 5 percent.

13 The Relationship between Treasury Bill Prices and Their Interest Rates What is the price of a Treasury bill that pays $1, 000 in one year, if its interest rate is 4%? What is the price of the Treasury bill if its interest rate is 5%? 1000 p p = 4%
14 A Tale of Two Interest Rates Why do we need two models of the interest rate (the loanable funds model and the money market model)? The loanable funds model is concerned with the long-term real rate of interest, The money-market model is concerned with the short-term nominal rate of interest. Choosing a Monetary Policy Target There are many different interest rates in the economy. For purposes of monetary policy, the Fed has targeted the interest rate known as the federal funds rate. Federal funds rate: The interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. It is NOT set by the Fed. Instead, it is determined by the supply of reserves relative to the demand for them.
15 (Conti.) The money market model determines the short-term nominal IR. The rate is most relevant when conducting MP because it is the rate most affected by increases and decreases in the MS. These two rates are closely related: When the Fed takes actions to increase the short-term nominal IR, the long-term real rate will also increase. The Fed chooses the MS or the IR as its MP target. The Fed has generally focused more on the IR than on the MS. In 1993, Greenspan informed the U.S. congress that the Fed would cease using M1 or M2 targets to guide the conduct of MP.
16 (Conti.) Banks receive no interest on their reserves, so they have an incentive to invest reserves above the RR. Banks that need additional reserves can borrow in the federal funds market from banks that have reserves available. The Fed can increase or decrease bank reserve by OMOs, and then can come very close to hitting the target rate. Note that the FFR is NOT directly relevant for HHs and firms.
17 The Money Market and the Fed s Choice of Monetary Policy Targets The Importance of the Federal Funds Rate 14.2 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Describe the Federal Reserve s monetary policy targets and explain how expansionary and contractionary monetary policies affect the interest rate. Figure 14-6 Federal Funds Rate Targeting, January 1998 July 2009 Chapter 14: Monetary Policy The Fed does not set the federal funds rate, but its ability to increase or decrease bank reserves quickly through open market operations keeps the actual federal funds rate close to the Fed s target rate. The orange line is the Fed s target for the federal funds rate, and the jagged green line represents the actual value for the federal funds rate on a weekly basis.

18 How Interest Rates Affect Aggregate Demand The FFR is a short-term nominal IR, the Fed sometimes has diffi culty affecting long-term real IR. Nevertheless, we just assume that the Fed is able to use OMOs to affect the long-term real IR. Changes in IRs will not affect Gov. purchases, but they will affect the other three components of AD: 1. Consumption (durables goods) 2. Investment: New houses and investment goods; in addition, lower IRs can increase investment through their impact on stock prices. As IRs decline, stocks become more attractive and the increase in demand raises their prices. Firms then have incentives to issue more shares of equity and acquire more funds to increase investment. 3. Net exports: If the IRs in the U.S. rise relative to IRs in other countries, investing in US financial assets become more desirable, which increases the demand for the dollar and then increases the value of the dollar. Consequently, NEs reduce.
19 The Effects of MP on Real GDP and the PL: An Initial Look Expansionary monetary policy: The Federal Reserve s increasing the money supply and decreasing interest rates to increase real GDP. Contractionary monetary policy: The Federal Reserve s adjusting the money supply to increase interest rates to reduce inflation. Contractionary MP is also known as a tight MP. An expansionary MP is also known as a loose MP.
20 Monetary Policy and Economic Activity 14.3 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Use aggregate demand and aggregate supply graphs to show the effects of monetary policy on real GDP and the price level. The Effects of Monetary Policy on Real GDP and the Price Level Chapter 14: Monetary Policy Figure 14-7 Monetary Policy In panel (a), the economy begins in a recession at point A, with real GDP of $13.8 trillion and a price level of 98. An expansionary monetary policy causes aggregate demand to shift to the right, from AD 1 to AD 2, increasing real GDP from $13.8 trillion to $14.0 trillion and the price level from 98 to 100 (point B). With real GDP back at its potential level, the Fed can meet its goal of high employment. In panel (b), the economy begins at point A, with real GDP at $14.2 trillion and the price level at 102. A contractionary monetary policy causes aggregate demand to shift to the left, from AD 1 to AD 2, decreasing real GDP from $14.2 trillion to $14.0 trillion and the price level from 102 to 100 (point B).With real GDP back at its potential level, the Fed can meet its goal of price stability.

21 The Expansionary Monetary Policy The LR AS curve shifts to the right because over time capital and labor increase. Technological progress also occurs. These factors also result in firms supply more G&S at any given PL in the SR. The SR AS curve also shifts to the right. The AD curve will also shift the right: As population grows and income rise, C, I, and G all increase over time. However, sometimes AD doesn t increase enough to keep the economy at potential GDP (E.g., reduction in C and I due to pessimism; reduction in G due to reducing the budget deficit). When the Fed economists anticipate that AD is not growing fast enough to allow the economy to remain at full employment, they present their findings to the FOMC, which decides whether a change in MP is needed.

Without monetary policy, aggregate 14.4 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Use the dynamic aggregate demand and aggregate supply model to analyze monetary policy. Chapter 14: Monetary Policy demand will shift from AD 1 to AD 2(without policy), which is not enough to keep the economy at full employment because longrun aggregate supply has shifted from LRAS 1 to LRAS 2. The economy will be in short-run equilibrium at point B, with real GDP of $14.3 trillion and a price level of 102. By lowering interest rates, the Fed increases investment, consumption, and net exports sufficiently to shift aggregate demand to AD 2(with policy). The economy will be in equilibrium at point C, with real GDP of $14.4 trillion, which is its full employment level, and a price level of 103. The price level is higher than it would have been if the Fed had not acted to increase spending in the economy. Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Macroeconomics R.

24 Chapter 14: Monetary Policy Monetary Policy in the Dynamic Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply Model Using Monetary Policy to Fight Inflation Figure A Contractionary Monetary Policy in 2006 The economy began 2005 in equilibrium at point A, with real GDP equal to potential GDP of $12.6 trillion and a price level of From 2005 to 2006, potential GDP increased from $12.6 trillion to $13.0 trillion, as long-run aggregate supply increased from LRAS 2005 to LRAS The Fed raised interest rates because it believed the housing boom was causing aggregate demand to increase too rapidly. Without the increase in interest rates, aggregate demand would have shifted from AD 2005 to AD 2006(without policy), and the new short-run equilibrium would have occurred at point B. Real GDP would have been $13.2 trillion $200 billion greater than potential GDP and the price level would have been The increase in interest rates resulted in aggregate demand increasing only to AD 2006(with policy).

25 Can the Fed Eliminate Recessions? The Fed can manage to shift the AD curve to keep the economy continually at potential GDP. In reality, this objective is diffi cult for the Fed to achieve, as the length and severity of the recession indicates. Instead, keeping recessions shorter and milder than they would otherwise be is usually the best the Fed can do. An example: Consider the 2001 recession and the Fed s actions. From Jan 2001 to Dec 2001, the FOMC continued to reduce the FFR from 6.5% to 1.75%. Consequently, the Fed reduced the severity of the 2001 recession successfully: Real GDP declined only during two quarters in 2001; GDP was actually higher for 2001 than 2000; HH purchases of consumer durables and new homes remained strong during 2001, etc.
26 Monetary Policy and Economic Activity Can the Fed Eliminate Recessions? 14.3 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Use aggregate demand and aggregate supply graphs to show the effects of monetary policy on real GDP and the price level. Figure 14-8 The Effect of a Poorly Timed Monetary Policy on the Economy Chapter 14: Monetary Policy The upward-sloping straight line represents the long-run growth trend in real GDP. The curved red line represents the path real GDP takes because of the business cycle. If the Fed is too late in implementing a change in monetary policy, real GDP will follow the curved blue line. The Fed s expansionary monetary policy results in too great an increase in aggregate demand during the next expansion, which causes an increase in the inflation rate.

27 Why Does Wall Street Care about Monetary Policy? Note that changes in the FFR usually cause changes in other IRs. The stock market reacts when the Fed either raises or lowers interest rates. The first reason is that changes in IRs affect the economy. Lower IRs usually result in increases in real GDP, which increases the profitability of many firms. Because the value of a share of stock depends on the profitability of the firm that issued the stock, stock prices tend to rise when investors expect that the Fed will be lowering IRs to stimulate the economy. The second reason: changes in IRs make it more or less attractive for people to invest in stock rather than in other financial assets (T-bills, CDs, and corp. bonds).
28 Should the Fed Target the Money Supply? Some economists have argued that rather than use an IR as its monetary policy target, the Fed should use the money supply. Many of the economists who make this argument belong to the monetarism school (Milton Friedman). They favor a monetary growth rule (MGR): A plan for increasing the money supply at a constant rate that doesn t change i.r.t. economic conditions (recessions or expansions). They have proposed a MGR of increasing MS at a rate equal to the long-run growth rate of real GDP, 3.5%. They believe that active MP destabilizes the economy, increasing the number of recessions and their severity. The relationship bw movements in MS and movements in real GDP and PL becomes weaker. The MGR is less attractive today.
29 A Closer Look at the Fed s Setting of Monetary Policy Targets 14.5 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Discuss the Fed s setting of monetary policy targets. Why Doesn t the Fed Target Both the Money Supply and the Interest Rate? Figure The Fed Can t Target Both the Money Supply and the Interest Rate Chapter 14: Monetary Policy The Fed is forced to choose between using either an interest rate or the money supply as its monetary policy target. In this figure, the Fed can set a target of $900 billion for the money supply or a target of 5 percent for the interest rate, but it can t hit both targets because only combinations of the interest rate and the money supply that represent equilibrium in the money market can be achieved.

30 How does the Fed choose a target for the FFR? The Taylor rule: A rule developed by John Taylor that links the Fed s target for the federal funds rate to macroeconomic variables. It begins with an estimate of the value of the equilibrium real FFR, which is the FFR-adjusted for inflation-that would be consistent with real GDP being equal to potential GDP in the LR. Federal funds target rate=current inflation rate+real equilibrium federal funds rate+ 1 2 Inflation gap Output gap
31 (Conti.) Inflation gap (the diff. bw current inflation rate and a target inflation rate) and output gap (the diff. bw real GDP and the potential GDP) appear there because the Fed is concerned about both inflation and fluctuation in real GDP. Taylor demonstrated that when the equilibrium real FFR is 2% and the target rate of inflation is 2%, the expression does a good job of explaining changes in the Fed s target for the FFRs. Note that the Taylor rule doesn t account for changes in the target inflation rate or the equilibrium IR.
32 Should the Fed Target Inflation? Inflation targeting Conducting MP so as to commit the central bank to achieving a publicly announced level of inflation. It is supported by: It can draw the public s attention to the fact that in the LR, the Fed can have an impact on inflation but not on real GDP. It is easier for the public to form accurate expectations of future inflation, improving their planning and the effi ciency of the economy. Help institutionalize good MP. Better measure the performance of the Fed. It also has opponents: Such a numerical target reduces the flexibility of MP to address other policy goals. It assume the Fed can accurately predict future inflation, which is not always the case. Make it less likely that the Fed will achieve other important policy goals.
33 How Does the Fed Measure Inflation? CPI overstates the true underlying rate of inflation; GDP deflator includes prices of goods, such as industrial equipment, that are not widely purchased by the typical consumer and worker. The personal consumption expenditures price index (PCE) is a measure of the PL that is similar to the GDP deflator, except that it includes only the prices of goods from the consumption category of GDP. In 2000, the Fed announced that it would rely more on the PCE than on the CPI in tracking inflation. Three advantages of PCE: 1. The PCE is so-called chain-type price index, as opposed to the market-basket approach used in constructing the CPI. As consumers shift the mix of products they buy each year, the market-basket approach causes CPI to overstate actual inflation. A chain-type price index allow the mix of products to change over year. 2. PCE includes the prices of more goods and services that CPI. 3. Past value of PCE can be recalculated as better ways of computing price index are developed and as new data become
34 (Conti.) In 2004, the Fed announced that it would begin to rely on a subcategory of the PCE: the so-called core PCE, which excludes food and energy prices. Prices of food and energy tend to fluctuate up and down for reasons that may not be related to the causes of general inflation and that can not be easily controlled by MP. Although the three measures (CPI, PCE, core PCE) of inflation move roughly together, the core PCE has been more stable than the others.

36 Fed Policies During the Recession The Changing Mortgage Market. By the 1990s, a large secondary market existed in mortgages, with funds flowing from investors through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to banks and, ultimately, to individuals and families borrowing money to buy houses. The Role of Investment Banks. By mid-2007, the decline in the value of mortgage-backed securities and the large losses suffered by commercial and investment banks began to cause turmoil in the financial system. Many investors refused to buy mortgage-backed securities, and some investors would only buy bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury.

39 The Fed and the Treasury Department Respond Initial Fed and Treasury Actions. 1. First, although the Fed traditionally made loans only to commercial banks, in March 2008 it announced the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, under which primary dealers firms that participate in regular open market transactions with the Fed are eligible for discount loans. 2. Second, also in March, the Fed announced the Term Securities Lending Facility, under which the Fed will loan up to $200 billion of Treasury securities in exchange for mortgage-backed securities. 3. Third, once again in March, the Fed and the Treasury helped JPMorgan Chase acquire the investment bank Bear Stearns, which was on the edge of failing. 4. Finally, in early September, the Treasury moved to have the federal government take control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
40 Responses to the Failure of Lehmann Brothers In October 2008, Congress passed the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), under which the Treasury attempted to stabilize the commercial banking system by providing funds to banks in exchange for stock. Taking partial ownership positions in private commercial banks was an unprecedented action for the federal government. Clearly, the recession of , and the accompanying financial crisis, had led the Fed and the Treasury to implement new approaches to policy. Many of these new approaches were controversial because they involved partial government ownership of financial firms, implicit guarantees to large financial firms that they would not be allowed to go bankrupt, and unprecedented intervention in financial markets.
