The Federal Reserve is aggressively using old tools and new to try to stimulate the economy, even as it expands its regulatory mission towards climate change and social issues. Is the Fed adapting and innovating to the modern challenges, or is it on the path to repeat historical mistakes? Will it lose control of inflation in an overheated economy, and will it over-reach in its economic interference provoking a political backlash? John Cochrane is the Rose-Marie and Jack Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford, and previously was professor of finance at the University of Chicago and president of the American Finance Association. He has written many influential articles and books, including the leading graduate text on asset pricing. He is an elected Fellow of the Econometric Society and recipient of the TIAA Paul Samuelson Award, among many other honors. He blogs as “the grumpy economist” and writes opeds in the Wall Street Journal and other publications. |
