    CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICE Investment Insights AUGUST 2017 Matthew Diczok A Focus on the Fed Head of Fixed Income Strategy An Overview of the Federal Reserve System and a Look at Potential Personnel Changes SUMMARY After years of accommodative policy, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is on its path to policy normalization. The Fed forecasts another rate hike in late 2017, and three hikes in each of the next two years. The Fed also plans to taper reinvestments of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities, gradually reducing its balance sheet. The market thinks differently. Emboldened by inflation persistently below target, it expects the Fed to move significantly more slowly, with only one to three rate hikes between now and early 2019. One way or another, this discrepancy will be reconciled, with important implications for asset prices and yields. Against this backdrop, changes in personnel at the Fed are very important, and have been underappreciated by markets. The Fed has three open board seats, and the Chair and Vice Chair are both up for reappointment in 2018. If the administration appoints a Fed Chair and Vice Chair who are not currently governors, then there will be five new, permanent voting members who determine rate moves—almost half of the 12-member committee. This would be unprecedented in the modern era. Similar to its potential influence on the Supreme Court, this administration has the ability to set the tone of monetary policy for many years into the future. Most rumored candidates share philosophical leanings at odds with the current board; they are generally hawkish relative to current policy, favor rules-based decision-making over discretionary, and are unconvinced that successive rounds of quantitative easing were beneficial.

  • Interview of Stanley Fischer by Olivier Blanchard

After three careers, the first in academia at Chicago, and at MIT, the second at the World Bank and at the International Monetary Fund, the third in the private sector at Citigroup, he is starting a fourth, as the head of the Central Bank of Israel. This interview, to be published in Macroeconomic Dynamics, took place in April 2004, before the start of his fourth career. This interview took place long before Stan had any idea he would become Governor of the Bank of Israel, a position he took up in May 2005. We have not changed the text to reflect this latest stage. Introduction. The interview took place in April 2004 in my office at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York City, where I was spending a sabbatical year. We completed it while running together in Central Park during the following weeks. Our meeting at Russell Sage was just like the many meetings we have had over the years.

  • 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 Tribute to George Perry and William Brainard
    10922-01_Gordon_REV.qxd 1/25/08 11:05 AM Page 1 ROBERT J. GORDON Northwestern University A Tribute to George Perry and William Brainard YOUNGER READERS OF THIS volume may not appreciate how creative was the invention of the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, how much it changed the way applied economics is communicated, and how magic has been its appeal to economists young and old, the novices and the famous, over its many years of operation. Within ten years of its creation, it had become one of the four most circulated academic journals in economics. The Brookings Papers started at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 16, 1970, with my first paper on the Phillips curve,1 which was discussed by none other than George Perry and Robert Solow. Right from the start, the Brookings Papers was the place to go to for up-to-date analysis of the macroeconomic puzzles of the day. A scorecard of frequent contributors to the Brookings Papers over the years would include many of the great and famous economists of our day: not just Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke, but other luminaries including Olivier Blanchard, Rudiger Dornbusch, Stanley Fischer, Paul Krugman, Jeffrey Sachs, and Lawrence Summers, not to mention the Nobel Prize contingent of George Akerlof, Franco Modigliani, Edmund Phelps, Robert Solow, and James Tobin. It is a supreme tribute to Perry and Brainard— and to Arthur Okun, the journal’s cofounder with Perry—that, when they asked, these people came, whether they were famous then or would become so only later.

  • Stanley Fischer
    Stanley Fischer: Monetary policy - by rule, by committee, or by both? Speech by Mr Stanley Fischer, Vice Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, at the 2017 US Monetary Policy Forum, sponsored by the Initiative on Global Markets at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, New York City, 3 March 2017. * * * In recent years, reforms in the monetary policy decisionmaking process in central banks have been in the direction of an increasing number of monetary policy committees and fewer single decisionmakers – the lone governor model.1 We are only a few months away from the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee, just a few years after the 300th birthday of the venerable Old Lady of Threadneedle Street. The Bank of Israel moved from a single policymaker to a monetary policy committee in 2010, while I was governor there; more recently, central banks in India and New Zealand have handed over monetary policy to committees. The Federal Reserve is not part of this recent shift, however. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has been responsible for monetary policy decisions in the United States since it was established by the Banking Act of 1935, two decades after the founding of the Fed itself.2 The movement toward committees reflects the advantages of committees in aggregating a wide range of information, perspectives, and models. Despite the prevalence and importance of committees in modern central banking, the role of committees in the formulation of policy

  • What I Learned at the World Economic Crisis by Joseph Stiglitz New Republic April 17, 2000
    What I Learned at the World Economic Crisis By Joseph Stiglitz New Republic April 17, 2000 Next week's meeting of the International Monetary Fund will bring to Washington, D.C., many of the same demonstrators who trashed the World Trade Organization in Seattle last fall. They'll say the IMF is arrogant. They'll say the IMF doesn't really listen to the developing countries it is supposed to help. They'll say the IMF is secretive and insulated from democratic accountability. They'll say the IMF's economic "remedies" often make things worse­­turning slowdowns into recessions and recessions into depressions. And they'll have a point. I was chief economist at the World Bank from 1996 until last November, during the gravest global economic crisis in a half­century. I saw how the IMF, in tandem with the U.S. Treasury Department, responded. And I was appalled. The global economic crisis began in Thailand, on July 2, 1997. The countries of East Asia were coming off a miraculous three decades: incomes had soared, health had improved, poverty had fallen dramatically. Not only was literacy now universal, but, on international science and math tests, many of these countries outperformed the United States. Some had not suffered a single year of recession in 30 years. But the seeds of calamity had already been planted. In the early '90s, East Asian countries had liberalized their financial and capital markets­­not because they needed to attract more funds (savings rates were already 30 percent or more) but because of international pressure, including some from the U.S.

  • Monetary Rules and Committees Stanley Fischer
    CHAPTER SIX Monetary Rules and Committees Stanley Fischer In this chapter, I off er some observations on monetary policy rules and their place in decision making by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).1 I have two messages. First, policy makers should consult the prescriptions of policy rules, but—almost need- less to say—they should avoid applying them mechanically. Sec- ond, policy- making committees have strengths that policy rules lack. In particular, committees are an effi cient means of aggregating a wide variety of information and perspectives. MONETARY POLICY RULES IN RESEARCH AND POLICY Since May 2014, I have considered monetary policy rules from the vantage point of a member of the FOMC. But my interest in them began many years ago and was refl ected in some of my earliest publications.2 At that time, the literature on monetary policy rules, especially in the United States, remained predominantly concerned with the money stock or total bank reserves rather than the short- 1. Views expressed in this presentation are my own and not necessarily the views of the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Open Market Committee. I am grateful to Ed Nelson of the Federal Reserve Board for his assistance. 2. See, for example, Cooper and Fischer (1972). 202 Fischer term interest rate.3 Seen with the benefi t of hindsight, that empha- sis probably derived from three sources: fi rst, the quantity theory of money emphasized the link between the quantity of money and infl ation; second, the research was carried out when monetarism was gaining credibility in the profession; and third, there was a concern that interest rate rules might lead to price- level indeter- minacy—an issue disposed of by Bennett McCallum and others.4 Subsequently, John Taylor’s research, especially his celebrated 1993 paper, was a catalyst in shift ing the focus toward rules for the short- term interest rate.5 Taylor’s work thus helped change the terms of the discussion in favor of rules for the instrument that central banks prefer to use.

Similar crises have threatened Turkey and Argentina (2000 and 2001) and most recently Brazil (again). This article discusses the reform of the international financial system with a focus on the role of the IMF - reforms directed at crisis prevention, and those intended to improve the responses to crises.
