All rights reserved. 10-3The Federal Reserve and Monetary Policy•The Fed of the United States conducts monetary policy by setting the federal funds rate—the interest rate at which banks lend to each other•Because the real interest rate is (Chapter 2), and if prices are sticky, changes in monetary policy does not immediately affect inflation and expected inflation•When the Federal Reserve lowers the federal funds rate, real interest rates fall; and when the Federal Reserve raises the federal funds rate, real interest rates rise. er i= - pCopyright © 2012 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 10-4The Monetary Policy Curve•The monetary policy (MP) curve shows how monetary policy, measured by the real interest rate, reacts to the inflation rate, :•The MP curve is upward sloping: real interest rates rise when the inflation rate rises where autonomous component of responsiveness of to inflationr rr rr= +l p=l =pCopyright © 2012 Pearson Addison-Wesley.

All rights reserved. 10-6The Taylor Principle: Why the Monetary Policy Curve Has an Upward Slope•The key reason for an upward sloping MP curve is that central banks seek to keep inflation stable•Taylor principle: To stabilize inflation, central banks must raise nominal interest rates by more than any rise in expected inflation, so that r rises when rises•Schematically, if a central bank allows r to fall when rises, then : ppad adr Y r Yp p p�������( =AD)adYCopyright © 2012 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 10-7Shifts in the MP Curve•Two types of monetary policy actions that affect interest rates:1. Automatic (Taylor principle) changes as reflected by movements along the MP curve2. Autonomous changes that shift the MP curve–Autonomous tightening of monetary policy that shifts the MP curve upward (in order to reduce inflation)–Autonomous easing of monetary policy that shifts the MP curve downward (in order to stimulate the economy)Copyright © 2012 Pearson Addison-Wesley.

All rights reserved. 10-9Policy and Practice: Autonomous Monetary Easing at the Onset of the 2007-2009 Financial Crisis•When the financial crisis started in August 2007, inflation was rising and economic growth was quite strong •The MP curve would have suggested that the Fed would continue to keep raising the federal funds rate•Instead the Fed lowered the federal funds rate•This reflects that the Fed pursued autonomous monetary policy easing, thus shifting the MP curve down, because the Fed perceived the economy to weaken in the near future due to the financial crisisCopyright © 2012 Pearson Addison-Wesley.
