Recent Developments in Monetary Macroeconomics and US Dollar Policy

William Gavin ()

The IUP Journal of Monetary Economics, 2007, vol. V, issue 3, 49-56

Abstract: This paper summarizes the recent developments in the theory and practice of monetary policy in a closed economy and explains what these developments mean for the US dollar policy. There is no conflict between what is an appropriate US monetary policy at home or abroad, because the dollar is the world’s key currency. Both at home and abroad, the main problem for US policymakers is to provide an anchor for the dollar. Recent experience in other countries suggests that a solution is evolving in the use of inflation targets.
