It contrasts the conventional interest-rate transmission mechanism with additional effects from exchange-rate movements under floating exchange rates. The analysis stresses that policy impacts depend on whether the public correctly anticipates policy-driven price pressures; imperfect anticipation can generate temporary output effects but repeated exploitation can lead to backfiring.

Owen F.Humpage  \nlhe media frequently take centralbanks to task for failing to encouragereal economic growthUsually,suchcriticisms center on the business cycle,with analysts calling for monetary easewhen growth falls below its recent trendand,somewhat ironically,chiding policy-makers for responding too quickly whengrowth rises above trend.  \nRecently,with long-term U.S.economicgrowth apparently slowing,the focus ofthese criticisms has shifted somewhat.News reports are now increasingly ask-ing whether an easier monetary policystance might not boost investment andthe nation's economic potential.  \nMost economists will concede that mon-etary policy can affect real economicgrowth,at least in the short term,but cau-tion that it may do so only when the pub-lic fails to anticipate the policy changeand then misinterprets the accompanyingprice adjustments.Frequent attempts toexploit such connections will eventuallybe noticed.Then,an expansionary mone-tary policy could actually backfire.  \nThis Economic Commentary traces theconnections between policy changes,shifts in aggregate spending,and adjust-ments to production.In response to thosewho advocate monetary ease as a stimu-lant for growth and employment,Iemphasize the precarious nature oftheassumptions about price expectationsthat typically underlie their beliefs.  \n# Monetary Policy and RealEconomic Growth\n\n■Monetary Policy Transmission  \nAccording to the standard view,mone-tary policy affects total spending primar-ily by altering interest rates.'The Fed-eral Reserve System's main instrumentfor conducting monetary policy is thepurchase and sale of government bondsin the secondary market(open-marketoperations).²When the Fed buys gov-ernment bonds,it pays for them by cred-iting the reserve accounts of the appro-priate commercial banks.These banksthen have additional(excess)reserves,which they will lend or invest in othersecurities.To expand their lending(andthrough the act of purchasing other secu-rities),commercial banks reduce interestrates.This in turn encourages an expan-sion of such interest-sensitive spendingas business fixed investment and resi-dential construction,according to theconventional view.  \nUnder our present system of floatingexchange rates,an exchange-ratechange can augment the traditionalinterest-rate channel of monetary policy.As U.S.interest rates fall,internationalinvestors may shift their portfolios fromdollar-denominated assets to foreign-currency-denominated assets,whichnow have higher yields.As they do,dol-lar exchange rates will fall,making U.S.exports more attractive than foreigngoods and services.World demand willshift toward the U.S.market.  \nDecember 1996  \nThe ability of monetary policy to in-fluence real economic growth andemployment depends on whether thepublic correctly anticipates the policychange and the resulting price pres-sures.In the long run,individualshave complete access to policy andprice information,so central banksdetermine only the inflation rate.  \nMany economists believe that connec-tions between aggregate spending andmonetary policy are substantiallybroader and more complicated thanthose described by the conventionalinterest-rate view,even as modified withan exchange-rate effect.Following anexpansionary open-market operation,forexample,individuals may find them-selves with too much liquidity and mayattempt to acquire additional assets,bothfinancial(stocks and bonds)and real(houses and durable goods).This reshuf-fling of portfolios can also raise stockprices.A rise in the market value offirms(as reflected in equity prices)rela-tive to the replacement costs of capitaloffers businesses another incentive toundertake new investments.In addition,the higher stock prices also increasehousehold financialwealth,which could  \nfurther stimulate consumption spending.Likewise,if land and housing prices rise,household wealth and consumption mayget an additional boost.  \nAn expansionary open-market operationmay have an independent effect onfinancia","cbCaikLTwW8ljCbT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikLTwW8ljCbT","pdf",1199165,"English","# Monetary Policy and RealEconomic
