The Federal Reserve Fight  Editorial of The New York Sun | May 3, 2019
https://www.nysun.com/editorials/the-federal-reserve-fight/90670/

The defeat of Steve Moore's candidacy for a governorship of the Federal Reserve invites a strategic look at the fight over our central bank. This fight has, after all, been brewing a long time -- since, in our view, 1971, when President Nixon closed the gold window and ended the era of Bretton Woods, when the dollar was redeemable by foreign governments for a 35th of an ounce of gold.*

Fed running out of monetary ammunition
Desmond Lachman | Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum 
President Trump's quest for an ultra-easy monetary policy at this late stage in the economic cycle might cause the US economy to overheat and rekindle inflation. Moreover, it would leave the Fed with scant ammunition to fight the next recession.

Strategies For Monetary Policy: A Policy Conference
via Hoover Daily Report  Two related questions are central to an evaluation the Fed’s monetary policy strategy. First, how robust is the strategy? Second, can the strategy be improved by altering the degree of data dependence, by reconsidering monetary tools or instruments, or by changing communications about the strategy?

The conference is meant to be complementary to other reviews of monetary policy this year. The conference consists of formal presentations, policy panels, and in-depth discussions by academic researchers, market participants, members of the media, and monetary policy makers.

A Glut of Easy Money Is Clogging City Streets
Nicole Gelinas, The Atlantic
Dense cities are the world’s traditional marketplaces, where people come together to trade goods and services in pursuit of profit. But what happens when the world’s markets are warped?

Economic Growth 
by John B. Taylor, John H. Cochrane , Michael J. Boskin, John F. Cogan
 via PolicyEd America’s economy may seem stable at first glance but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s doing well. While many believe that our economy is at its best under the circumstances, history shows a different picture.
Does The Macroeconomy Float In Choppy Waters?
with Steven J. Davis via Federal Reserve Bank of St. LouisIn a recent Economic Synopses essay, we discussed how large changes in economic policy uncertainty (EPU) can affect key macroeconomic indicators like GDP and inflation. In that analysis, we considered only shocks that were large enough to push EPU above the recent historical highs. Thus, changes in the EPU do not necessarily have proportional changes on the economy.
