Monetary Policy
In the United States, the Federal eserve system is charged with implementing monetary policy (Investopedia, 2013). Monetary policy is essentially any the output of any central bank that seeks to manage an economy by means of manipulating the supply of money in the economy (Investopedia, 2013). The Federal eserve (2013) defines monetary policy as what it does to "influence the amount of money and credit in the U.S. economy." Thus, monetary policy affects not only the quantity of money but the cost of money and these factors directly affect the broader market with respect to investment, manufacturing output and overall economic activity.

The Federal eserve uses monetary policy for three main purposes. The first is to management the GDP, the second is to manage inflation and the third is to manage unemployment. The Fed seeks to strike a balance between these three objectives with its policy, and the result of….

Monetary Policy
Every economic activity in the United States is related to the policies that are decided by the monetary policies of the nation that are formulated. This involves all activities like purchase of houses, starting up of new business enterprises, and expansion of businesses, investments in new plants or machinery. It also affects our investment decisions like putting our investments in banks, bonds, or the stock market. It is also well-known that the United States is the biggest economy of the world, and this causes its economy to have affects on them, and thus any decision about the monetary policy of the United States will also have an effect on them. The purpose of any monetary policy in any country is to correct the then present shortcomings of the economy like the situations of inflation or deflation, economic output and finally the most important of them all - employment.

" (EC, 2007)
Operational efficiency is held to be the most important of all the principles of operation for the EC and can be defined as "the capacity of the operational framework to enable monetary policy decision to feed through as precisely and as fast as possible to short-term money market rates. These in turn, through the monetary policy transmission mechanism, affect the price level." (EC, 2007) Equal treatment and harmonization is a principle that holds that credit institutions must be treated equally regardless of their size or their location in the euro area. Simplicity and transparency are said to "ensure the intentions behind monetary policy operations are correctly understood. The principle of continuity aims at avoiding major changes in instruments and procedures, so that central banks and their counterparties can draw on experience when participating in monetary policy operations. The principle of safety requires that the Eurosystem's financial and operational….

Monetary Policy
Any change in the central back policy or the bank reserves, which is made to influence the interest rates and thus the investment, employment or production, is called the monetary policy. If the monetary authority wants to increase production, they need to increase the bank reserves. The bank then expands the money supply, which in turn reduces the interest rates. Monetary policy is one of the tools that a national Government uses to influence the economy. In alignment with its political objectives, it uses its authority to control the supply and availability of money to further impact its desired level of economic activity. The policy is usually done by the Central ank of the country.

The monetary policy has undergone a change from past days to now. The modern central banking especially in the U.S. comes after the post-depression era. The 1930's Government led by the economist John Keynes found….

Monetary policy is crucial to the economy and impacts all types of economic and financial decisions individuals make. For example, depending on the state of the economy, individuals may decide whether to obtain a loan to purchase a new car or house or to start their own company, whether to expand a business by investing in a new plant or equipment, and whether to put savings in a bank, in bonds, or in the stock market. Since the United States is the largest economy in the world, its monetary policy also has significant economic and financial effects on foreign countries.
This paper analyzes and examines various issues related to monetary policy. First, the state of the United States economy is discussed. Next, the issue of whether the Federal Reserve is more concerned about high inflation or the possibility of a recession or other issues is analyzed. Lastly, this paper outlines the….

Monetary Policy and Mortgages
The businesses of mortgages lead to their own problems. ecently it was stated by the attorney for the Western District of Missouri that the owner of a mortgage invest company and three employees of Ameriquest Mortgage were charged with an indictment. The effort made by them was to cheat Ameriquest and some investors through the process of false loans for mortgage. Brent Michael Barber who is 40 years of age is the owner of Somerset Homes and Investment Company as also previous owner of The Beef Pit, a Grandview, Mo., restaurant, along with Chauncey Joseph Calvert, aged 34, Avonda Lynn Nicodemus, aged 32, and oderick Neil Criss, 33, all former employees Ameriquest in Gladstone, Mo., were named in a 62-count indictment given by a federal grand jury in Kansas City. The main accusation was that these individuals had planned to cheat Ameriquest and other investors from the….

Monetary Policy and the Federal Reserve
The Federal Reserve ("the Fed") is responsible for formulating and implementing the nation's monetary policy. Monetary policy is government actions to increase or decrease the money supply and change banking requirements and interest rates in order to influence spending by altering banker's willingness to make loans. An expansionary monetary policy increases the money supply in an effort to cut the cost of borrowing, which encourages business decision makers to make new investments, in turn stimulating employment and economic growth. A restrictive monetary policy reduces the money supply to curb rising prices, over expansion, and concerns about overly rapid growth (Kurtz).

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the Fed's main agency for monetary policy making. All national banks must be members of this system and keep some percentage of their checking and savings funds on deposit at the Fed. In order to regulate the economy the….

While this represents a significant portion of the government's operating income, higher inflation would generate even more seigniorage by requiring larger volumes (or simply higher denominations) of currency in circulation. If prevailing annualized inflation rises above 4.6% but remains below 9.0%, real seigniorage could climb to $130 billion, or about 6% of all federal receipts in a year like 2009 (U.S. Financial anagement Budget).

In itself, cash carries an interest rate of zero and no central bank can reduce its rate targets below that level. This is the pernicious "liquidity trap" that the Open arket Committee has sought to avoid by guiding U.S. overnight rates close to zero while avoiding a formal move to that level (Svensson). Obviously, once nominal rates have dropped to zero, no further easing is possible, requiring monetary authorities to employ a different set of policy instruments.

any of these instruments are effective to the extent to which….

Monetary Policy
Discuss some of the major determinants of the demand for money by sector and in total. Discuss some differences in the demand for money which might exist for countries other than the U.S.

An effective formulation of the Monetary Policy depends on the determining factors of the demand for money. Money Demand acts as a channel on transmission mechanism for monetary policy. Therefore the consistency of the money demand function is crucial for the monetary policy for attaining predictable effects on inflation and real output. The classical economists regard money as a numeraire, i.e. A commodity, the unit of which is used to represent the prices and values; keeping its own value unaffected by such a role. Money is assumed to be neutral having no tangible economic consequences. This is done by limiting the role of money as a store of value having the assumption of perfect information and negligible….

If energy prices rise further, it is likely that private spending will be influenced and economic expansion may be negatively affected. The high and volatile prices of crude oil and natural gas appear troublesome for future predictions (Greenspan, 2005).
nother uncertain factor affecting the economy is productivity, which is delineated in unit labor costs, or the hourly labor compensation to output per hour ratio. n increase in productivity over the last decade has favorably influenced the United States' economy, in that efficiency gains restrained inflation. The concern is however that this rapid growth in productivity cannot be maintained. This inherent uncertainty is substantiated by the fact that output per hour, that reached its peak in 2003, seems to be declining. This may result in recession trends, although the duration of the productivity decline is uncertain. related concern is the sharp decline of output measured from the product side of….

hen interest rates are low, people have a greater incentive to borrow and to spend money. That new car or home they have been 'putting off,' seems much more attractive when the interest rate is nearly zero! But perhaps "the most effective tool the Fed has, and the one it uses most often, is the buying and selling of government securities in its open market operations. Government securities include treasury bonds, notes, and bills. The Fed buys securities when it wants to increase the flow of money and credit, and sells securities when it wants to reduce the flow" (Obringer 2009, p.10).

Given the magnitude of the current economic crisis, the Fed has been taking aggressive actions with the specific aim of stimulating consumer spending, and hopefully production and employment to meet increased demand as a result: "The target fed funds rate will be below .25%…effectively at zero. The Fed is….

Focused on cutting interest rates in order to obstruct economic decline and to prevent the destructive incursion of inflation, the Federal Reserve has acted independently (though with the administration's endorsement) to counteract mild or regressive growth patterns. After several years of sluggish economic performance and a response on the part of the Federal Reserve by way of a consistent reduction in interest rates, a number of factors have conspired to produce market bust. Precipitated at its base by an irresponsible level of homeowner loaning at a subprime rate, the market's current condition is one of marked pressure upon banks to collect on debts which a great many owners cannot afford to resolve.
As a result, the last six months have seen a tumultuous unfolding of market events, with the housing economy taking the biggest hit. ith few buyers in the possession of real assets and banks now wary to lend….

Monetary Policy
In the attached resource files, there is a chart that outlines three perspectives on how the economy should be run: the mainstream macroeconomics perspective, the monetarism perspective and the rational expectation perspective. Which one of these approaches do you most agree with? What in Macroeconomics supports your point-of-view?

The view that makes the most sense is the rational expectation perspective. The reason why, is because this will take into account a number of real world factors that will have an impact upon economic growth. The most notable include: the private economy is stable when you are at the natural unemployment rate, there can be unexpected shocks to aggregate demand / aggregate supply over the short-term, cost push inflation is fueled by the lack of growth in the money supply and changes in monetary policy will have little impact upon inflation over the short-term. (Summary of Macroeconomic Views)

Future Ahead

In the face of global credit crisis, it is expected that Fed has to make further changes such as cut in the more important federal funds rate to maintain stability. The pattern of growth is likely to change showing a slow down. "Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com, has trimmed his forecast to show economic growth of about 2.5% in the current quarter, down sharply from 4% in the April-June quarter. He said the fourth quarter is likely to be even weaker at around 1.5%" ('Fed surprises markets with half-point rate cut', 2007). The policies of rate-cutting could be more disturbing because of warnings about inflation at a time of slowing growth. The turmoil in the credit markets is not likely to be reduced overnight. The changes might be observed after a while however not without some of the negative repercussion. A lot also depends on the future….

In 2006, the Federal Open Market Committee announced in a press release that it was raising its target for the federal funds rate to 4-3/4%, specifically warning of the dire threat posed by inflation. However, this only occurred after many years of historically low interest rates, designed to stimulate the American economy after the recession of 2001. The Fed's low rates, critics contend, were one of the primary reasons for the housing bubble and bust. With the benefit of hindsight, they state that the Fed should have never have allowed interest rates to sink so low, and should have raised rates to more normative levels far sooner than it did. This would have curtailed the American consumer's addiction to credit and stifled the spiraling housing bubble. But the Fed alone is not to blame: the Securities and Exchange Commission (SCC) and regulators did not exercise appropriate watchfulness over the….
