OldGimletEye Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The mere suggestion of appointing Kevin Warsh as chairman of the FED was a joke. John Taylor is better as he has more credentials. But, Taylor has been incoherent over the last several years. The likely reason, Taylor has been incoherent is cause he just decided to play team Republican. When the shit hits the fan, and you make the wrong call, you don’t deserve the job. Glasner isn’t a Keynesian. He thinks monetary policy can get always restore full employment. I’d quibble with that, but Glasner often says really interesting and smart stuff. Anyway, about Taylor’s playin’ team Republican: Quote t seems that an announcement about who will be appointed as Fed Chairman after Janet Yellen’s terms expires early next year is imminent. Although there are sources in the Administration, e.g., the President, indicating that Janet Yellen may be reappointed, the betting odds strongly favor Jerome Powell, a Republican currently serving as a member of the Board of Governors, over the better-known contender, John Taylor, who has earned a considerable reputation as an academic economist, largely as author of the so-called Taylor Rule, and has also served as a member of the Council of Economic Advisers and the Treasury in previous Republican administrations. Quote Taylor’s support seems to be drawn from the more militant ideological factions within the Republican Party owing to his past criticism of Fed’s quantitative-easing policy after the financial crisis and little depression, having famously predicted that quantitative easing would revive dormant inflationary pressures, presaging a return to the stagflation of the 1970s, while Powell, who has supported the Fed’s policies under Bernanke and Yellen, is widely suspect in the eyes of the Republican base as a just another elitist establishmentarian inhabiting the swamp that the new administration was elected to drain. Quote If Taylor is nominated to be Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Fed, I hope that, during his confirmation hearings, he will be asked to explain what the implications of following the Taylor Rule would have been in the post-2003 period. Quote Taylor’s implicit argument is that by not raising interest rates as rapidly as the Taylor rule required, the Fed created additional uncertainty that was damaging to the economy. But what was the nature of the uncertainty created? The Federal Funds rate is merely the instrument of policy, not the goal of policy. To argue that the Fed was creating additional uncertainty by not changing its interest rate in line with the Taylor rule would only make sense if the economic agents care about how the instrument is set, but if it is an instrument the importance of the Fed Funds rate is derived entirely from its usefulness in achieving the policy goal of the Fed and the policy goal was the 2% inflation rate, which the Fed came extremely close to hitting in the 2004-06 period, during which Taylor alleges that the Fed’s monetary policy went off the rails and became random, unpredictable and chaotic.

Which Tyler Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 @dmc515 Is that what happened when the WHO honoured Mugabe as a goodwill ambassador? TBH it make (much) more sense than the World Health Organisation doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had always read that he avoided the stuff from a young age. Either way though I'd be shocked if he didn't dance with the white lady during the 80's.
