Fiscal Theory Of Monetary Policy
by John H. Cochrane via Grumpy Economist
Teaching a PhD class and preparing a few talks led me to a very simple example of an idea, which I'm calling the "fiscal theory of monetary policy." The project is to marry new-Keynesian models, i.e. DSGE models with price stickiness, with the fiscal theory of the price level. The example is simpler than the full analysis with price stickiness in the paper by that title.

UNDERSTANDING THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE

Understanding The Unemployment Rate
by John B. Taylor via PolicyEd.org
The unemployment rate is the percentage of unemployed workers in the total labor force. The economic models utilize the unemployment rate to explain short-term fluctuations and long-term trends, such as job loss and recession. This makes the unemployment rate important as it determines the health of the economy when establishing economic policies.

Economist, blogger, and author Arnold Kling talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the state of economics in the 21st century. Kling argues that economics would be more useful if it took account of intangibles like culture, incorporated the role of financial intermediation in the economy, and modeled some of the the subtleties of the labor market--how wages are set and the role of team production.

Exploring the techno-economic content of your bitcoin wallet 
Bronwyn Howell and Petrus Potgieter | AEIdeasBronwyn Howell and Petrus Potgieter explore what overlap exists between the technological and economic characteristics of bitcoin and other crytpocurrencies. The authors argue that as the transaction costs for bitcoin transfers increase, its appeal as a transacting currency decreases and the appeal of using alternative less-costly crytpocurrencies increases. The more crytpocurrencies there are, the harder it is to establish a basis for comparison of prices -- making the role of brokers crucial to the smooth functioning of cryptocurrency systems.

DOES THE FED NEED REFORM? & JOHN B. TAYLOR'S RULE FOR THE FED; OUR LOST DECADE

ECONOMICS ONE:  TAYLOR'S RULE FOR THE FED
Does the Fed Need Reform?
Robert Samuelson, Washington Post
Is trouble hiding in the latest World Bank report? 
Desmond Lachman | The Hill 
The World Bank’s report that the global economy is now operating at close to full capacity would seem to be a mixed blessing. There is certainly reason to celebrate that the world economy is operating at near its potential. However, there is also reason to fear that approaching global full employment could very well be a precursor to aggressive monetary policy tightening. 
America's Lost Decade: Fed's Antigrowth Policies Hurt Recovery, But A New Boom May Be Upon Us
quoting John B. Taylor via Investors Business Daily
Many negative consequences flow reliably from a financial crisis, including unemployment, political turmoil, and piles of sovereign debt. Since the 2008 financial meltdown, however, we've seen none of the good consequences — and there are supposed to be good ones.

The Fiscal Theory Of Monetary Policy

Short-term thinking distorts economic policy
Michael R. Strain | Bloomberg View 
Many Americans seem not to believe that society can overcome real divisions and advance toward a common future with confidence and openness to the world. The populism of 2017 revealed this. But populism isn’t simply a 2017 phenomenon. Decades of slow-burning economic and social change contributed to the current populist moment. After such damage, can a national narrative be restored?
A limited, energetic government 
Michael R. Strain | National ReviewMichael Strain makes a case for a limited, energetic government. He observes that economics and culture have collided to create our current populist movement -- which is significantly affecting the economic policy debate. Strain underlies policies that can serve as basic principles to have a strong commitment to individual liberty, the free enterprise system, economic opportunity, and personal responsibility. He concludes by urging people to remember that the dignity of the human person should be a central concern to economic policy.

Economic growth 
Michael R. Strain | Statement before the United States Senate Committee on the BudgetIn a statement before the United States Senate Committee on the Budget, Michael Strain argued that a growing private-sector economy is central to the health of society -- economic growth drives increases in living standards and quality of life. Strain argues that over long periods of time, nothing is more important to economic growth than innovation and a culture that allows for creativity and energy.

Happy New Decade!
by John B. Taylormentioning Michael J. Boskin, John H. Cochrane , John F. Cogan, Joshua D. Rauh, Kenneth E. Scott, George P. Shultz, Hoover Institution via Economics One
The Great Recession began exactly one decade ago this month, as later determined by the NBER business cycle dating committee chaired by my colleague, Bob Hall. There is still a great debate about the causes of the Great Recession, its deepness, its length, and the Not-So-Great Recovery that followed. 
SALT Margins
by John H. Cochrane via Grumpy Economist
I think most of the debate misses an important point about the state and local tax deduction -- incentives. Suppose you are in the top, (roughly) 40% marginal federal tax bracket. If you pay an extra $100 in state taxes, you deduct $100 from income, and pay $40 less in federal taxes. So, you really only pay $60 in state taxes.

Several positive macroeconomic trends suggest that the global economy could finally be in a position to achieve sustained and inclusive growth. But whether that happens will depend on whether governments can muster a more forceful response to changing economic and technological conditions.
