Monetary policymakers and central banks universally recognize that, in the long run, inflation is strictly determined by monetary policy. However, they disagree sharply about the role of monetary aggregates in the conduct of monetary policy. These differences in views are reflected in the way the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB) conduct monetary policy and communicate with the public.

Empirical results indicate that these aggregates do not share a common cycle; however, a commo...

These two questions were examined using Entrepreneurial Profile Qu...

Economists have become increasingly interested in the rules for monetary policy as economic analysts and central bankers try to evade a biased inflation caused by certain legislative activities and recognize the ability of rule-based approaches in adapting activist reactions to changes.
