| Inhalt | This kolloquium analyses a new revolution in monetary policy, drawing also on earlier theories of money. Three huge shocks – the GFC, the near-collapse of the euro and COVID-19 – led central banks on a path of unprecedented balance sheet expansion. What challenges do central banks face now? In this course, understanding these policies and challenges is helped both by finance theory and by knowledge of earlier monetary policy frameworks. |
| Literatur | There is no course textbook. Begin with chapter 1 of Philip Turner (2021) The new monetary policy revolution: advice and dissent. NIESR Occasional Paper and chapter 2 of Richard Barwell et al (2020) Monetary policy in troubled times: new governor, new agenda. NIESR Occasional Paper. Further readings will be suggested for each lecture and posted in ADAM. These readings will include the texts of speeches by central bank governors and senior officials because such speeches often contain very useful and clear economic analysis of live issues facing central banks. Two articles to start with are: Agustin Carstens, “Monetary policy: 10 years after the financial crisis.” (Basler Bankers Forum, 5 September 2019). The second is Steven Kamin: “Short-term progress and longer-term challenges for the Federal Reserve” American Enterprise Institute, 28 September 2020. |

| Hinweise zur Leistungsüberprüfung | The course will require that students take an active part in discussing what are live and controversial questions. Students will be invited to prepare a very short presentation (7 to 10 minutes) on one article or a section of a book relevant to a theme. They should explain the point of the article is and should say on what they agree or disagree. They can suggest a few key questions for the class to discuss. Making presentations is an active way of learning both individually and from others, and is an important skill to acquire for any job. This will not be graded and students should feel relaxed about it. Each student will be asked to write an essay on a topic/question drawn from a list covering the six themes (50% of the grade), and give a 15-minute talk on that essay (25% of the grade). Not more than 4000 words plus a few well-chosen graphs and tables. Each student should feel free to discuss this essay with the lecturer at any stage. 25% of the grade will be for class participation. |
