BPEA and Monetary Policy over Fifty Years
回顾了BPEA期刊五十年来在菲利普斯曲线、货币主义兴衰以及美国实际货币政策评估三个领域的核心贡献,适合关注货币政策演变的研究者参考。
Ever since its first issue in 1970, BPEA has played a leading role in the analysis of monetary policy. This paper surveys BPEA's many contributions to three specific areas: (1) the Phillips curve, which provides the empirical bridge between real economic activity and inflation; (2) the analysis and demise of monetarism, the doctrine that emphasized the money supply over interest rates; and (3) evaluations of and recommendations for actual monetary policy in the United States, which began in the first BPEA issue and continues to this day. BPEA has played a dominant (though not monopoly) role in each of these areas.
