‘The Meaning of Internal Balance’ Thirty Years On
回顾了米德在诺贝尔奖演讲中提出的政策分配方案，结合通胀目标制的经验，评估了灵活通胀目标的应用及金融稳定对货币政策的影响。
In his Nobel Prize lecture, Meade advocated allocating demand management policies to pursuing price stability, reformed wage-fixing institutions to achieving full employment and foreign exchange policies to maintaining balance-of-payments equilibrium. But with respect to the first, he advocated a target for nominal income rather than the price level. I evaluate Meade's programme with the benefit of hindsight and in the light of experience with inflation targets. I also discuss some of the issues associated with the application of flexible inflation targets, as well as the extent to which financial stability considerations should affect the conduct of monetary policy.
