 Monetary policy
货币政策
 Stable prices (Typical)稳定物价(典型功能)

3.a. Monetary Policy: Dual Goals
货币政策:双重目标
 Price stability 价格稳定
 Sustainable growth / full employment 可持续
增长 / 充分就业
This “dual mandate” is distinct.
这个“双重使命”非常独特。
8
3.a. Trying to achieve monetary policy
goals is a bit like:
 Driving in the fog on a curvy road with cliffs on both sides, where
there are long and variable lags between when you turn the steering
wheel and when the wheels actually turn.
 The cliffs on one side represent inflation and the cliffs on the other
side represent recession and unemployment.
 Central banks try to figure out “targets” so that they neither:
 Turn the wheel too hard and unexpectedly get inflation or
 Turn the wheel too little and fall off the cliff into a recession.
 The fog represents how difficult it is to actually see what is going on
in terms of employment, inflation, and growth.
 People debate which way the wheel should be turned.
 Who are those people?
9
3.a. 争取达到货币政策的目标就像是:
 在大雾里边开车,路上弯弯曲曲,两边都是悬崖,而且你
在打方向盘的时候,方向盘和车轮之间还存在长短不一
的时间差
 路两边的悬崖,一边代表通货膨胀,一边代表衰退和失
业
 中央银行需要找到“目标”,这样他们可以避免:
 把方向盘打得太猛以至于造成预料之外的通货膨胀,或者
 把方向盘打得不够从而造成经济衰退
 路上的雾代表着实际上很难看清真实的失业,通货膨胀,
以及经济增长的情况
 人们争论究竟应当怎样打方向盘
 那这些争论的人是谁呢?
10
3.b. Monetary Policy: Structure
 Who: Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
 5 Federal Reserve presidents vote. All 12 attend.
 7 members of the Board of Governors
 [Monetary Policy Committee for PBoC]
 When: FOMC typically meets 8 times per year
 [Quarterly for PBoC]
 What:
 FOMC Directives / Announcements / Statements
 http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/monetary/20130918a.htm
 [http://www.pbc.gov.cn/publish/english/970/index.html for PBoC]
11
3.b. 货币政策:结构
 相关方: 美国联邦公开市场委员会 (FOMC)
 全体12位主席出席,5位主席轮流投票
 7位理事会成员
 [中国人民银行货币政策委员会]
 时间: FOMC通常在一年之内会面8次
 [中国人民银行是每季度一次]
 做什么:
 FOMC的指令 / 公告 / 声明
 http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/monetary/20130918a.htm
 [http://www.pbc.gov.cn/publish/english/970/index.html for PBoC]
12
3.b. Example: FOMC directive 9/18/07
 The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to lower its
target for the federal funds rate 50 basis points to 4-3/4 percent.
 Economic growth was moderate during the first half of the year, but the tightening of
credit conditions has the potential to intensify the housing correction and to restrain
economic growth more generally. Today’s action is intended to help forestall some of
the adverse effects on the broader economy that might otherwise arise from the
disruptions in financial markets and to promote moderate growth over time.
 The Committee judges that some inflation risks remain, and it will continue to monitor
inflation developments carefully.
 In a related action, the Board of Governors unanimously approved a 50-basis-point
decrease in the discount rate to 5-1/4 percent.
13
3.b. 举例:美国联邦公开市场委员会指令
9/18/07
 美国联邦公开市场委员会今天决定将其联邦基金利率降低50个基点至百
分之4-3/4。
 今年上半年的经济增长相对平缓,但是信贷条件的紧缩将有可能加重房
产市场的调整,并且在更广泛的层面上抑制经济增长。今天的决定将帮助
预先防止由于金融市场的不稳定给经济带来的负面影响,同时在未来促
进经济适度增长。
 美国联邦公开市场委员会判断一定的通货膨胀风险仍然存在,并且将继
续小心监控通货膨胀情况的发展。
 与以上决定相辅,理事会一致通过将贴现率增加50个基点至百分之5-1/4 。
14
3.b. FOMC
• There was a large change in the nature of the FOMC statement
following the crisis: quantitative easing.
金融危机之后,在FOMC的声明中出现了比较大的变化:量
化宽松
• We need to understand the mechanics of monetary policy to
我们需要了解货币政策的技术细节以便
 understand why this change happened, and
理解为什么会出现这样的变化
 what this means for business conditions in the future and around
the world.
这个变化对于商业环境和世界其他市场的影响是什么

Monetary policy Mechanics: Reserves
货币政策细节:准备金
 Fed influences the money supply primarily by using two tools:
美联储主要通过使用下边的两个工具来影响货币供应量:
 Open market operations 公开市场操作
 Discount loans 贴现贷款
 To link the analysis of monetary policy to bank balance sheets, it is helpful
to examine how these tools influence bank reserves.
为了能够将针对货币政策的分析同银行的资产负债表联系起来,
很有必要解释一下这些工具是如何影响银行的准备金水平
19
3.c.2. Open market operations – Reserves
公开市场操作 – 准备金
• Open market operations traditionally involved the Fed buying
and selling treasury securities in the secondary markets.
公开市场操作从传统意义上讲是指美联储在二级市
场上购买或出售美国国债
• Open market operations affect
公开市场操作将影响
• credit conditions 信贷情况
• economic activity 经济活动
 Let’s see how …
让我们看看这是怎样进行的 …

3.c.3 Discount window

Discount rate   more expensive for banks to borrow to meet reserve
requirements
 Banks will
 Try to borrow from other banks  federal funds rate 
 Reduce loans  commercial rates 
 Sell securities  other rates 
Note: Discount lending to troubled banks & to prevent panics
That is: Lender of last resort role of the Fed
25
3.c.3 贴现窗口

贴现率   银行借款成本上升,满足准备金要求的成本上升
 银行将会
 向其他银行借款  联邦基金利率 
 减少贷款数量  商业贷款利率 
 出售有价证券  其他利率 
注意:向有困难的银行通过贴现贷款而避免市场恐慌
这是:美联储作为最后贷款人的角色
26
3.c.4.Targeting
 How does the Fed know the appropriate value of securities to purchase or
the rate at which it should charge banks to borrow (discount loans) or the
level of reserve requirements when changes in these actions only influence
prices and employment with long variable lags?
 One way is for the Fed to target the federal funds rate because its an easyto-observe, though limited, indicator of credit conditions. Example:
 Buy Treasury securities through Open Market Operations until the
targeted FFR is achieved.
 Then, wait, and see how this influences prices and unemployment.
 Then, decide if it wants to alter the targeted FFR.
27
3.c.4.目标设定
 美联储是如何知道究竟购买多少有价证券,或者应当向银行收
取多少借款利息(贴现贷款),或者当上述的这些行动仅仅会对
市场价格水平和就业率情况产生很长的滞后作用的时候,商业
银行的存款准备金应该维护在什么水平?
 一种方法就是美联储可以通过设定联邦基金利率目标,因为这
是一个虽然有限,但是很容易观察的有关信贷条件的指标。例如:
 在公开市场上购买国债,直到达到联邦基金目标利率为止
 然后,观察这样的行动如何影响物价水平和失业情况
 然后决定是否改变联邦基金的目标利率
28
3.c.4 FOMC: directive 9/18/07
 The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to lower its
target for the federal funds rate 50 basis points to 4-3/4 percent.
 Economic growth was moderate during the first half of the year, but the tightening of
credit conditions has the potential to intensify the housing correction and to restrain
economic growth more generally. Today’s action is intended to help forestall some of
the adverse effects on the broader economy that might otherwise arise from the
disruptions in financial markets and to promote moderate growth over time.
 The Committee judges that some inflation risks remain, and it will continue to monitor
inflation developments carefully.
 In a related action, the Board of Governors unanimously approved a 50-basis-point
decrease in the discount rate to 5-1/4 percent.

Traditional monetary policy did not work 传统
的货币政策失效
Fed implements quantitative easing 美联储开
始实行量化宽松政策
New FOMC statement 新的FOMC声明
“New” balance sheet “新的”资产负债表
Challenges: “Tapering” 挑战:“逐渐减少”
4.a. Traditional Monetary Policy did not work
 By 2009, the Federal Funds Target Rate had fallen to zero.
 It was no longer an effective indicator of credit conditions.
 Also, because of liquidity fears, short-term interests became
“disconnected” from longer rates, which further reduced the
usefulness of targeting the FFR.
 Banks did not use the discount window much because of the
stigma associated with borrowing directly from the Fed.
 But, there were fears of deflation, which would push the real
value of debt up and would push real wages up (and hence
encourage more unemployment)
 What to do?
32
4.a. 传统的货币政策失效
 到2009年,美联储的联邦基金目标利率降低到0
 联邦基金利率不再能够真实反映实际的信贷情况
 还有,由于对于流动性的恐惧,短期利率和长期利率
“脱钩”,这更造成了联邦基金目标利率的有效性
 商业银行不再经常使用贴现窗口这一工具,因为从
美联储借款往往充满了屈辱
 但是,市场上也存在对于通货紧缩的恐惧。通货紧
缩将推升实际的债务总值,以及工资水平(因而将
会导致更高的失业率)
 那怎么办?
33
4.b. Fed adds “Quantitative Easing” (QE)
 QE
 QE1: 11/2008 - 6/2010: Large-scale asset purchases of $600
billion of mortgage-backed securities from banks.
 QE2: 10/2010 – 6/2011: large-scale purchases of about $600
billion in long-term Treasury securities.
 QE3: 9/2012 - … : $85 billion/month of mortgage-backed
securities and long-term Treasury securities.
 Boosted the Fed’s balance sheet by almost $3 trillion.
 Also: “Forward Guidance”
 Fed seeks to “guide the economy” by telling us what they will
do in advance, especially to FFR and QE
34
4.b. 美联储推出了“量化宽松(QE)”政策
 量化宽松(QE)
 QE1: 11/2008 - 6/2010: 大规模地从商业银行手中购买
了价值6000亿美元的抵押贷款证券
 QE2: 10/2010 – 6/2011: 大规模地购买了价值6000亿美
元的美国国债
 QE3: 9/2012 - … : 每月购买价值850亿美元的抵押贷款
证券和美国长期国债
 将美联储的资产负债表总额增加了近三万亿美元
 还有:“前瞻性指导”
 美联储尝试着通过告诉我们它将怎样做,特别是怎样
设定联邦基金利率和量化宽松的规模,来“指导经济
的走势”。
35
4.c. FOMC: statement: Sept. 18, 2013
 Information received since the Federal Open Market
Committee met in July suggests that economic activity has
been expanding at a moderate pace… the unemployment
rate remains elevated.
 Apart from fluctuations due to changes in energy prices,
inflation has been running below the Committee's longer-run
objective, but longer-term inflation expectations have
remained stable.
 The Committee expects that…economic growth will pick up
from its recent pace and the unemployment rate will
gradually decline
36
4.c. FOMC: 2013年9月18日声明
 在联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)七月份会议之后,
我们收到的信息表明经济活动的开展速度比较缓
和 … 失业率维持在比较高的水平
 除了由于能源价格的变化造成的波动之外,通货膨
胀水平处于委员会的长期目标之下,但是长期通货
膨胀的预期保持不变。
 委员会预计 … 经济增长的速度将会从现在的水平
上开始加快,而失业率将会逐渐降低
37
Continued
 the Committee decided to await more evidence that progress will be
sustained before adjusting the pace of its purchases. Accordingly, the
Committee decided to continue purchasing additional agency mortgagebacked securities at a pace of $40 billion per month and longer-term
Treasury securities at a pace of $45 billion per month.
 highly accommodative stance of monetary policy will remain
appropriate for a considerable time after the asset purchase program
ends and the economic recovery strengthens.
 the Committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at
0 to 1/4 percent and
 [it] anticipates that this exceptionally low range for the federal funds rate will
be appropriate at least as long as the unemployment rate remains above 61/2 percent,
 inflation between one and two years ahead is projected to be no more than a
half percentage point above the Committee's 2 percent longer-run goal, and
longer-term inflation expectations continue to be well anchored
38
继续
 委员会决定在调整其购买规模之前,还需要继续等待收
集一些更多的证据,现在的购买速度将持续。因此,委
员会决定将继续按照每月400亿美元的规模购买抵押贷
款证券,以及每月450亿美元的规模购买美国长期国债。
 在资产购买程序结束之后,和经济复兴到来之前的很长
一段时间内,货币政策将维持在一个高度适应的姿态
 委员会决定将其联邦基金目标利率维持在1/4百分点,并
且
 委员会认为,只要是失业率水平在6-1/2百分比之上,那么联
邦基金利率维持在这个非常低的水平就是非常适合的。
 通货膨胀率在未来的一到两年内,预计将不会超出委员会
所设定的2%这个长期目标的0.5个百分点,并且,长期通
货膨胀的预期一直处于很好的控制之内

4.e. Fed’s challenges
 Since the economic recovery is weak, it continues to:
 Target the FFR at about zero.
 Conduct large-scale asset purchases of long-term assets to push
long-term interest rates down and stimulate economic activity.
 These are shrinking in size though as the Fed tapers down QE.
 But, five years of expansionary monetary policy creates risks
 Unprecedented reserves … inflation risk (why is inflation bad)
 Induce investors to purchase stocks with interest rates so low.
45
4.e. Fed’s challenges
美联储面临的挑战
 由于经济复兴的趋势很弱,美联储不得不持续:
 将联邦基金目标利率设置在接近于0
 大规模购买长期金融资产以便压低长期市场利率,从
而刺激经济发展
 这种购买活动在规模上正在变得越来越小,因为美联储在不
断消减QE规模
 但是,持续了五年的宽松的货币政策也产生了风险:
 从未有过的准备金规模 … 通货膨胀风险 (为什么通
货膨胀是不好的呢?)
 利率如此的低,诱导投资人购买大量股票

美联储面临的挑战:QE逐渐减少
 How rapidly can the FED reduce its purchases of long-term
Treasury and mortgage-backed securities: “Tapering?”
美联储削减国债和抵押贷款债券购买规模的速度有多快:
“逐渐减少”?
 How will the Fed know that economic growth has reached its
“long-run potential” rate, or when unemployment is at some
“natural” level, so that it knows when to “taper?”
美联储如何知道什么时候经济增长到达了其“长期的潜力
水平”,或者,失业率降低到了“自然水平”,然后可以开

US Interest Rates: Low for Longer
 Fed expects short-term interest rates to remain ≈0% until
US economy recovers
 Full employment (5% unemployment, 2% inflation) by end of
2016?
 Bond Markets agreed
 2-year Treasuries pay .2%
 5-year Treasuries pay .7%
 Tapering of QE likely to end before 2015
 Monthly size falling by $10bn each FOMC (now $65bn)
50
美国利率:很长时间内会维持在比
较低的水平
 美联储预计短期利率水平会维持在接近于0的水平,
直至美国经济开始好转
 全民就业(失业率5%,通货膨胀率2%)直至2016年?
 债券市场同样美联储的看法
 2年期美国国债利率 .2%
 5年期美国国债利率 .7%
 QE削减预计在2015年之前就可以停止
 现在每一次FOMC会议之后,每个月的购买规模就减
少100亿美元

 Over 40 countries still formally tied to US$, more
informally
 Will China’s slowly relaxing capital controls provide
insulation?
53
世界其他地区面临危险?
 当美国的利率水平上升的时候,那些将其本国货币
和美元挂钩的国家就必须也要提高其利率水平,除
非那些国家有很强的货币管控措施
 历史上和货币有关的经济危机:
 例如:美联储在90年代中期提高利率,接着就发生了墨
西哥和亚洲金融危机
 目前有40多个国家正式将其本国货币通美元挂钩,
有更多的国家不正式挂钩
 中国逐渐放松的货币管制会提供绝缘层吗?
