The Fed ’s Astonishing Quantitative Tightening in the Great Recession
Alan Reynolds“There Was No Housing Bubble in 2008 and There Isn ’t One Now, ” concludes Ramesh Ponnuru. Writing in Bloomberg, Ponnuru notes that, ” economists David Beckworth and Scott Sumner have argued that the timing of the last housing bust does not line up with the conventional wisdom that it played a central role in the recession that began in December 2007. The housing market peaked in early 2006, and sustained nearly two years of decline before the economy stopped growing as unemployment stayed low.”“A monetaristexplanation for the Great Recession, ” he adds, “is that the Federal Reserve erred from...

Reflections on Greenspan ’s “Irrational Exuberance” Speech after 25 Years
ConclusionMuch can be learned by reflecting on Greenspan ’s 1996 speech, especially given the global financial crisis of 2007–2009 and the current pandemic—both of which have increased the Fed’s power and weakened its independence. There is still no monetary rule to guide monetary policy, even as inflation has reared its head once more. What jumps out from Greenspan’s speech is how he posed a problem that the Fed never solved, and then made things worse.The New Year will test the Fed ’s resolve to taper QE, “normalize” interest rates, and slow inflation. With unprecedented fiscal deficits and debt, at least...

The Fed ’s Higher Fed Funds Rate Projections Mean What?
Alan ReynoldsBefore they were awash with reserves, banks often paid interest to other banks in the “federal funds” market if they needed more reserves to support more lending (due to reserve requirements). Since 2008 and massive “quantitative easing” (buying federal debt with new reserves), reserve requirements stopped limiting commercial bank credit. The Federal Reserve instead paid an interest rate on reserve balances (IROB)– which effectively sets a floor under the fed funds rate.Members of the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed ’s policymaking arm, announced on December 15 that their median projection ...

Turkey Hopes to Restore Currency Confidence
Alan ReynoldsTurkey is at least trying to stabilize exchange rate expectations, though it is not clear if they have a sustainable strategy to do that.When people at home and abroad lose confidence in a country’s currency, the time‐tested ways to stop the inflationary rush to get rid of the shrinking currency are to firmly link the unit of account (Turkish lira) to a more credible currency such as the euro or dollar – preferably through full convertibility (a currency board).In 1993, the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce invited me to spend a week consulting with Turkish businessmen there and government offic...

Producer Prices for Goods Rise and Fall with Oil Prices
Alan ReynoldsEver since Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell described cyclical or COVID-related elements of inflation as "transitory" (an ambiguous phrase now retired), critics repeatedly seized onyear-to-year changes in price indexes as evidence that inflation was insteadaccelerating every month.As I have noted before, however, the stubborn rise in year-to-year inflation —even when monthly rates slowed in the third quarter—was partly because ofbase effects (prices indexes were often flat or falling in the 2020 pandemic) and particularly because ofcompounding: If we keep adding the same monthly increase to a price i...

The Curious Tale of PPI Trade Service Inflation
Alan ReynoldsAnother Wall Street Journal editorial once again confuses a rising year‐to‐year change in a price index with a monthly inflation rate for November. A chart supposedly “shows how wholesale price have risen every month but one this year on an annual basis.” This factoid is said to be “a monumental rebuke” to the Fe d, which (because of that “annual basis” trickery) is effectively blamed for both falling prices during COVID waves as well as rising prices during reopenings.The charted year ‐to‐year changes in the PPI donotshow that producer prices “have risen every month,...

Unlike Next Month, the November CPI Was Dominated by Oil
Alan ReynoldsUSA Today headline says, “Inflation rate surges as CPI data shows prices rose 6.8% in November, the fastest spike since 1982. ”That 6.8% figure does not describe what happened this November at all. It measures what happened at some points in time between the brutal pandemic of 2020 (when U.S. deaths from COVID-19 rose from 908 on November 1 to 2,389 by November 30) and the much safer and stronger global economy of November 2021.To find a record “spike” in November, we must look at monthly data, not 12‐month changes. The graph highlights monthly changes in three categories:Energy, which has rel...

The report discussed the concern that electronic toys were replacing more traditional children’s toys.
