MONETARY POLICY AND FISCAL SUITABILITY

  As you well know, monetary policy has powerful effects on financial markets, the financial system, and the broader economy. Conversely, financial instability, by impairing the provision of credit and other financial services, can depress economic growth, cause job losses, and push inflation too low.

This question is hotly debated in a large and growing academic literature, and any serious answer has to be subject to considerable nuance. At the same time, my sense is that the balance is clearly tilted toward the conclusion that macroprudential policies—through-the-cycle resilience, stress tests, and the countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB)—may be better targ

Microeconomic Renaissance

While Keynesian economic hypothesis was being applied in a large portion of the world's significant economies, the new idea of microeconomics, spearheaded by Marshall, was additionally grabbing hold in economic circles.
