DP19905 The Art of Monetary Policy: Lessons from Sun Tzu for Central Banks The 2008 Global Financial Crisis and 2020 COVID-19 pandemic forced central banks to innovate and develop a multifaceted set of new weapons that have substantially expanded their authority and reach. This lecture draws lessons for monetary policy from the last two, tumultuous decades by applying the principles of Sun Tzu, a Chinese philosopher and military strategist from the 6th century BC. Tzu proposed several key principles for successβ€”tenets that also apply to monetary policy today: (1) planning in advance for the next battle; (2) accepting and adapting to the inevitability of powerful, external shocks; (3) establishing a strong tactical position; (4) developing a variety of weapons that can be combined for different situations and maneuvers; (5) maintaining flexibility so that you can quickly modify your strategy; and (6) considering the longer-term costs when evaluating the tradeoffs of different approaches. While the optimal strategy in both war and monetary policy is more of an β€œart” than a science, these principles provide insights on how central banks should deploy interest rates, balance sheets, emergency support programs, forward guidance, and macroprudential tools when battling the next crisisβ€”as well as to build more resilient economies during more peaceful periods.

Kristin Forbes distills lessons for monetary policy from her research and the recent experience of central banks, using Sun Tzu's eternal classic "The Art of War" as a framework. Ingenious! (And particularly close to my own martial artist heart.)

This looks like a super important paper. Need to dig into it, but from first read, it provides a conceptual justification for departing from rational expectations (besides the empirical evidence that the assumption doesn’t hold).

🎈New Working Paper🎈with @ericoffner.bsky.social and @glennrudebusch.bsky.social

Do higher interest rates hurt the green transition? Not so obvious! Evidence from equity markets in US and EU actually shows stronger effects of monetary policy on high-carbon, brown firms.

"If we don't feel stupid it means we are not really trying"
Very encouraging quote from this inspiring article. The other two are also excellent!

I'll add this piece of advice, which a friendly ultramarathoner once gave me:
"Enjoy the highs, manage the lows!"
