Economic Commentary

Defending Zero Inflation: All For Naught

Download pdf

During the past several years, I have spent a considerable amount of time promoting price stability as the overriding objective for the Federal Reserve System. In this Economic Commentary, I would like to discuss some of the criticisms that this position has generated, to respond to those criticisms, and to comment on a conference that the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland held last year on the subject of price stability.
