(Macro) Episode 32: Monetary Policy
This video gives a brief overview of the Fed's three monetary policy tools: Open Market Operations, the Required Reserve Ratio, and the Discount Rate.
The Tools of Monetary Policy
This video lesson graphically presents the three tools Central Banks have at their disposal for managing the level of aggregate demand in the economy. Through increasing or decreasing the money supply, a central bank has influence over the interest rates in a nation, and therefore over the level of investment and consumption among firms and households. To accomplish this, three tools are employed: The reserve requirement, the open market purchase or sale of government bonds, and the discount rate. This lesson illustrates these three tools and explains the relative importance of each to monetary policy makers.
Fiscal and Monetary Policy
Often conflated, often confused, fiscal and monetary policies take very different approaches to influence the economy. And use two very different departments: the government and the Fed. Senior Editor Paddy Hirsch explains.

euronews U talk - A single monetary policy for the euro?
www.euronews.com In this edition of U talk, Elodie from France asks: "Does the strong currency policy conducted by the European Central Bank harm EU countries which have a weak currency?" Franco Bruni from Bocconi University in Milan responds: "I do not think the ECB's monetary policy is restrictive, or that the exchange rate of the euro is too strong. On the contrary its monetary policy is very expansionary. "The interest rate has been quite low for some time and Europe is flooded with a lot of monetary liquidity. "It is not a strong monetary policy at all. The real problem, I would say, is that the ECB has had some problems adapting its policy to meet every nation's needs. We cannot have a single monetary policy until the markets are better integrated. "We need uniformed financial rules, as well as unified monetary, financial markets and payment systems. Only in these conditions can a single monetary policy work for everybody. Another problem we have right now is that the transmission of this policy from the centre to the periphery is happening at different speeds. This is a major difficulty." Thanks to ISEG and l'ISPI.

18. Monetary Policy
Financial Markets (2011) (ECON 252) To begin the lecture, Professor Shiller explores the origins of central banking, from the goldsmith bankers in the United Kingdom to the founding of the Bank of England in 1694, which was a private institution that created stability in the UK financial system by requiring other banks to have deposits in it. Turning his attention to the US, Professor Shiller outlines the evolution of its banking system from the Suffolk System, via the National Banking era, to the founding of the Federal Reserve System in 1913. After presenting approaches to central banking in the European Union and in Japan, he emphasizes the federal funds rate, targeted by the Federal Open Market Committee, as well as the recent change to pay interest on reserve balances at the Federal Reserve, enacted by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act from 2008, as important tools of US monetary policy. After elaborating on reserve requirements, which are liability-based restrictions, and capital requirements, which are asset-based, he provides a simple, illustrative example that delivers an important intuition about the difficulties that banks have faced during the recent crisis from 2007-2008. This leads to Professor Shiller's concluding remarks about regulatory approaches to the prevention of future banking crises. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Monday Hangover: Brazilian Pres hits US Monetary Policy
On our Monday Hangover we'll talk about Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff being in town to discuss monetary policy and energy, amongst other things, but what specifically can Obama learn from the Brazilian leader? Then, it seems the White House has abandoned its push to force federal contractors to disclose their political donations; could it have anything to do with the election? And, government funds to train the unemployed across the US are drying up which is not good news now that some private companies are picking up their hiring.

Limitations of Monetary Policy.mp4
Keynes' arguments on how monetary policy is of limited value in times of a severe recession or depression. This involves two considerations: the inelasticity of investment demand due to business pessimism; and the development of a liquidity trap, when interest rates have been forced near the zero limit.

European Central Bank Monetary Policy
www.forexconspiracyreport.com - European Central Ban Monetary Policy - As Mario Draghi takes charge, European Central Bank monetary policy seems about to change. During the last year of the European sovereign debt dilemma the bank president, Jean-Claude Trichet, kept interest rates high. This policy supported the value of the Euro but may have served as a damper on struggling European economic growth. Draghi seems to be following policies more like those of United States Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke. Interestingly both were doctoral students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. If, indeed, Draghi is going to follow Bernanke's lead in attempting to rescue the European economy, just what steps might he take? Here we look at the so called "Bernanke Doctrine." Mr. Bernanke is considered an expert on the causes of the Great Depression and has written and spoken extensively about how to avoid deflation. His recipe for doing so is commonly referred to as the Bernanke Doctrine. Here is a synopsis of the Bernanke doctrine, what could just be the roadmap for coming European Central Bank monetary policy. Increase money supply. Do this via printing money if necessary Maintain liquidity of the financial system Lower interest rates down to zero if necessary Control the yields on corporate bonds and other private securities Lend money to banks a zero percent and take back corporate bonds as collateral Depreciate the US dollar Buy foreign currencies in large quantities ...

Recent Federal Reserve Monetary Policy
Presentation by Steve Meyer, Senior Adviser, Federal Reserve Board of Governors. January 14, 2011 From the Federal Reserve: www.federalreserve.gov Hello, I'm Steve Meyer. I'm an economist here at the Federal Reserve in Washington. The Fed is the central bank of the United States, the Congress created the Fed and made it responsible for monetary policy. I'm going to spend a few minutes discussing monetary policy and recent steps the Fed has taken to support our nation's economic recovery. The Fed adjusts monetary policy to promote maximum sustainable growth in output and employment and to keep inflation low and stable. When the outlook for growth is too slow and unemployment is high the Fed can push interest rates down to make credit less expensive that helps the economy grow more quickly and create more jobs. If inflation is extremely low, pushing interest rates down can help prevent the dangerous of slide into deflation, meaning a continuing decline in prices in wages. But if inflation is rising and the economy is growing too strongly the Fed can push up interest rates to reign in growth and control inflation. In normal times, before the recent global financial crisis the Fed adjusted short term interest rates such as the rate at which banks lend to each other over night. To make those adjustments the Fed bought and sold US government bonds, notes, and bills. Longer term interest rates including those on home mortgages, auto loans, and business credit generally moved up ...

16. The Evolution and Perfection of Monetary Policy
Financial Markets (ECON 252) Central Banks, originally created as bankers' banks, implement monetary policy using their leverage over the supply of money and credit standards. Since the Bank of England was founded in 1694, through the gold standard which lasted until the 1930s, and into modern times, central banks have pursued monetary policy to stabilize the banking system. Central banks monitor currency flows and inflation, acting when crises, such as bank runs, emerged. More recently, central banks have taken an increasingly expansive role in stabilizing economic fluctuations. In the yet to be confirmed current recession, the Federal Reserve has used open market operations and innovative financial arrangements to try to forestall the recession and bail out failing financial institutions. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Fed President Questions Current Monetary Policy
Fareed Zakari interviews Fed Reserve Bank of KC President Thomas Hoenig who breaks ranks and sounds like Dylan Ratigan, Gerald Celente, Ron Paul or Murray Rothbard. Mr. Hoenig has always been a bit of a renegade, yet his recent speech reaches into areas where he (and no other Fed official in my memory) has dared to tread. He is correct of course. It is difficult to believe that he didn't know or suspect all of this for at least two years, if not longer. The question then is why come out now? Surely he could have spoken out a year ago. Is his timing irrelevant or is it meaningful? Hoenig's words must be pleasing to Ron Paul as he gears up his offensive against the Fed and the banking system. Chairman Ben Bernanke, beginning to absorb shots from all sides, is extremely vulnerable as is the institution he commands. To Mr. Bernanke, Hoenig must appear to be a monetary Benedict Arnold. In an extraordinary speech says the big banks must be broken up and essentially implies the system itself is broken and corrupt. This to come from a Fed president indicates a palace revolt is brewing. gramercyimages.com
