  • Comments On\Inflation Targeting in Transition Economies; Experience
    Comments on \In°ation targeting in transition economies; Experience and prospects", by Jiri Jonas and Frederic Mishkin Olivier Blanchard¤ April 2003 The paper by Jonas and Mishkin does a very good job of describing the history, the implementation, and the e®ects of in°ation targeting in Central Europe. The description is rich and informative, showing the inconsisten- cies and the adjustments in monetary policy over time, the con°icts between monetary and ¯scal policy, and the di±culty of achieving in°ation targets. The basic conclusion, which is presented with much honesty, is also convinc- ing: In°ation targeting has not done miracles. But it has led to a decline in in°ation, at an output cost which does not appear excessively high. The paper however does less good a job of discussing the many issues facing in°ation targeters in those countries. It sometimes gives the impres- sion that what remains to be worked out are details of implementation, whether for example to have a point or a band for the in°ation target, or how to choose the time horizon for in°ation targeting. I agree that these are decisions that policy makers must make. But I also believe that there are plenty of hard conceptual issues which have not been solved, and these also need to be tackled, and tackled urgently. This will be the theme of my comments. ¤Comments given at the NBER Conference on In°ation Targeting, January 2003 In°ation targeting 2 Let me start with one remark however. Many of the criticisms I raise belowapplytomuchoftheresearchonin°ationtargeting.Inthissense, singling out Jonas and Mishkin is unfair.

A Pragmatic Approach to Capital Account Liberalization Eswar S. Prasad and Raghuram Rajan NBER Working Paper No. 14051 June 2008 JEL No. F21,F31,F36,F43 ABSTRACT Cross-country regressions suggest little connection from foreign capital inflows to more rapid economic growth for developing countries and emerging markets. This suggests that the lack of domestic savings is not the primary constraint on growth in these economies, as implicitly assumed in the benchmark neoclassical framework. We explore emerging new theories on both the costs and benefits of capital account liberalization, and suggest how one might adopt a pragmatic approach to the process.¸ Eswar S.

Introduction In the United States, it has long been the practice of central bankers to meet periodically with outside consultants, including academic and business economists, in order to discuss the current economic situation. In the authors' experience as invited consultants, these meetings invari- ably end with a "go-round," in which each consultant is asked to give his or her views on current monetary policy. Often the go-round is prefaced by a question of the following sort: "The Federal Open Market Committee [the group that determines U.S. monetary policy] meets next Tuesday. What actions do you recommend that we take?" We have each found it quite difficult to give a good answer to this type of question, not only because, as ivory-tower academics, we tend to have a less-detailed knowledge of current conditions than do the central bankers.

  • 1 Foreign Capital and Economic Growth Eswar S. Prasad
    1 Foreign Capital and Economic Growth Eswar S. Prasad (Cornell University), Raghuram G. Rajan (University of Chicago), and Arvind Subramanian (IMF)1 This version: April 2007 Abstract Contrary to the predictions of standard theoretical models, non-industrial countries that have relied more on foreign finance have not grown faster in the long run. By contrast, growth and the extent of foreign financing are positively correlated in industrial countries. We argue that the reason for this difference may lie in the limited ability of non-industrial countries to absorb foreign capital – especially because of the difficulty their financial systems have to allocate it to productive uses, and because of the proneness of these countries to exchange rate appreciation (and, often, overvaluation) when faced with such inflows. Our paper suggests that the current anomaly of poor countries financing rich countries may not really hurt the former’s growth, at least conditional on their existing institutional and financial structures. Our results do not imply that there is no role for foreign finance in the process of economic development or that it is natural for all types of capital to flow “uphill”. Indeed, the patterns of foreign direct investment flows have generally been more in line with the predictions of theory. However, there is no evidence that providing additional financing in excess of domestic savings is the channel through which financial integration delivers its benefits. 1 We are grateful to Menzie Chinn, Josh Felman, Olivier Jeanne, Gian Maria Milesi-Ferretti, Dani Rodrik, Thierry Tressel, and participants at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas meetings at Jackson Hole and the Brookings Panel in Washington, DC, especially our discussants Susan Collins and Peter Henry, for helpful comments and discussions.

References in publications to the Finance and Economics Discussion Series (other than acknowledgement) should be cleared with the author(s) to protect the tentative character of these papers. Will Monetary Policy Become More of a Science? Frederic S. Mishkin Member Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System September 2007 Prepared for the Deutsche Bundesbank conference “Monetary Policy Over Fifty Years,” held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, September 21, 2007. The views expressed here are my own and are not necessarily those of the Board of Governors or the Federal Reserve System. I thank Michael Kiley, Andrew Levin, and Robert Tetlow for their helpful comments and assistance. Over the past three decades, we have seen a remarkable change in the performance of monetary policy. By the end of the 1970s, inflation had risen to very high levels, with many countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) experiencing double-digit inflation rates (figure 1). Most OECD countries today have inflation rates around the 2 percent level, which is consistent with what most economists see as price stability, and the volatility of inflation has also fallen dramatically (figure 2).

KEYNOTE: THE CRISIS AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE Bernard E. Harcourt There has been a lot of recent debate over whether the economic crisis presents an opportunity to reduce prison populations and improve the state of criminal justice in this country. Some commentators suggest that the financial crisis has already triggered a move towards reducing the incarcerated population. Some claim that there is a new climate of bipartisanship on punishment. Kara Gotsch of the Sentencing Project, for example, suggests that we are now in a unique political climate embodied by the passage of the Second Chance Act under President George W. Bush-a climate that is substantially different than the era marked by President Bill Clinton's Omnibus Crime Bill.' Others, such as Jonathan Simon at Berkeley, have suggested that our prison population is a bubble that will eventually burst. In his article in Daedalus, Clearing the "Troubled Assets" of America's Punishment Bubble, Simon suggests that the crisis of mass incarceration can be mapped onto the housing crisis and argues that the analogy may reveal potential remedies to the current situation.

He was previously chief of the Financial Studies Division in the International Monetary Fund's Research Department and, before that, was the head of the IMF’s China Division.

Allison Nathan: What is the role of Allison Nathan: Will the Renminbi ever become a “safe haven” the RMB in the global monetary currency? system? Eswar Prasad: In order for the Renminbi to be seen as a “safe Eswar Prasad: The Renminbi is playing haven” currency, China will need to not only meet the an increasingly prominent role in the prerequisites of a reserve currency, but also institutional global monetary system. It is already prerequisites including an open and transparent democratic gaining significant traction as an structure, trusted public institutions such as an independent central international currency, that is to say a bank, and an independent judiciary. The current Chinese leadership currency that is widely used in trade and has clearly rejected these political, legal and institutional reforms so financial transactions around the world.
