Classic Policy Benchmarks for Economies with Substantial Inequality
Abstract: St. Louis Fed President Jim Bullard participated on a policy panel during the Annual Conference of the Central Bank of Chile. The topic of the conference was “Heterogeneity in Macroeconomics: Implications for Monetary Policy.” During the panel discussion, Bullard presented "Classic Policy Benchmarks for Economies with Substantial Inequality." In the presentation, he outlined an argument that the contribution of a central bank to optimal macroeconomic policy may not be importantly altered by the presence of heterogeneous households. (He has presented previous versions of these slides at lectures and conferences.)
Keywords: macroeconomic policy; inequality;
