Anthony M. Santomero

Business Review, 2004, issue Q4, 1-6

Abstract: Should monetary policymakers in the U.S. adopt explicit inflation targeting? After all, the Fed has steadily reduced inflation over the past 25 years without resorting to an explicit inflation target. But having achieved price stability, we must now deal with the matter of maintaining it.

This time, he expands that discussion by proposing a specific inflation targeting program
