All these say concepts of inflation targeting were misapplied: John Taylor who said rates were too low prior to 2007. had they been higher things would have been better Monetary policy was too [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mostlyeconomics.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1042553&amp;post=9372&amp;subd=mostlyeconomics&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On reading FMOC  statement for Fed&#8217; monetary policy held on 25-Jan-12, I was stumped. It said zero policy rates to remain till end-2014. It got sharp reactions when it was extended to mid-2012 in Sep-11 policy. Now zero policy rates have been extended further by 18 months to end-2014. Looking at economic projections, they are better [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mostlyeconomics.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1042553&amp;post=9365&amp;subd=mostlyeconomics&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
