thread_title: Various misplaced comments

message: The article Debt-based_monetary_system stands currently unrelated to the bulk of the articles on monetary
policy and closely related matters.  What is worse, it is completely non NPOV, offering only critique of
credit based money and absolutely no explanation of the point of such a system, cherry picking quotes of
obscure figures and highlighting how many believe the system "leads to tyranny" and the like.  It seems
like the criticisms offered on this page should be incorporated into the currently existing pages, sobered
up a great deal, and counterbalanced with criticisms of the criticisms. I tried to add one paragraph of more level headed context at the beginning, but I am not knowledgeable enough to do so authoritatively. 32F 14:57, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Monetary theory and this article overlap, but since this article is much more completely developed, I propose merging monetary theory into monetary policy. (Given the refs there, this may also help restore MP to its GA status.)  Jeremy Tobacman 19:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't merge. Monetary theory may possibly be expanded to cover the different models of monetary economics such as the Quantity Theory of Money, Keynesian and post-Keynesian theories or the different attempts to incorporate money into dynamic general equilibrium. It may also discuss issues like the efficiency of monetary exchange vs. barter or the relationships between credit and money. None of this would be possible within an article on monetary policy. The references would also not help too much. I haven't seen the Edward Elgar book but the other books are more focussed on theory than on policy. Jyotirmoyb 08:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Don't merge. The theory of what money is, and how it works, is a huge topic by itself; what macroconomic policies best control its effects is another field featuring 800-page textbooks. That is, I completely agree with Jyotirmoyb's comment. --Rinconsoleao 13:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I see it, in the most common current usage "monetary theory" and "monetary policy" are of the same central-bank-issued coin.  Monetary theory is used to determine optimal monetary policy; historical variation, due partly to monetary policy, informs current prevailing theory.  One well-regarded current six hundred page textbook sees fit to treat them together.  Jyotirmoyb and Rinconsoleao, I think much of "what money is and how it works," including relation to barter, is now sensibly covered in the money article.  Discussion of MV=PY, in my mind, fits well in an article on monetary policy, as it captures the first-order long-run lesson for central banks. Jeremy Tobacman 14:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why don't we merge "medical science" and "healthcare policy"? Why don't we merge "automaking" and "moving violation"? Why don't we merge "reproduction" and "family law"?

text: Sure, given 600 pages, I agree that they could be treated together! But for Wikipedia's purposes, I think the money page, which discusses the nature of money for nonspecialists, should be linked to but separate from the monetary theory page, which should cover questions about how economists model money, including Baumol-Tobin, OLG, CIA, MIU, matching, and other classes of models. As Jyotirmoyb pointed out, theoretical treatment of efficiency of money, for example, also wouldn't fit will in the monetary policy page, which is very much a topic in its own right. --Rinconsoleao 11:35, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

text: The current financial crisis has created a lot of fear which is causing people to want to hold much more money than they previously felt they needed. The "stimulus packages" being offered by various politicians are woefully inadequate to provide that extra money, and they have other defects as well. My plan was developed during the Asian financial crisis of several years back. It would solve the current problem by having FRS buy huge amounts of stock and thus making the additional money needed available quickly without any increase in debt (which would defeat the purpose).

message: edited the history section to include 
:Previously, monetarist macroeconomists advocated simply increasing the monetary supply at a low, constant rate, as the best way of maintaining low inflation and stable output growth. However, when this policy was attempted in the U.S. in the early 1980s, it was found to be highly destabilizing, a fact even Milton Friedman acknowledged in an interview with the Financial Times in 2003.
He used a speech by James K. Galbraith (an enemy of Monetarism) as his source, rather than the Financial Times. I think that this is at best hear-say rather than a reliable source. Even Galbraith merely says "Friedman himself conceded to the Financial Times in 2003: “The use of quantity of money as a target has not been a success. I’m not sure I would as of today push it as hard as I once did.”" which is a considerably weaker statement than saying "it was found to be highly destablizing".

However, the Open Market Committee of Federal Reserve System (FOMC) establishes a target for the Federal funds rate.

thread_title:  Don't vandalise! 

message: The article describes monetary policy at some length and it is quite obviously a complex subject. But where can I find some information on the effects of monetary policy? For example, around the beginning of this year (2009), the Fed introduced a step change in the money supply that doubled the U.S M0 or Monetary Base thereby devaluing the Dollar. What is the expected effect of this action? Does anyone know? Do theories exist that economic analysts would use to divine the results of a given action or is it more of a by-guess-and-by-gosh kind of thing?
The article is written in terms of interest rates but changes in the money supply produce other effects. In the free market, Dollars are a commodity like wheat or gold and are subject to laws of supply and demand. The Dollar is worth so much less today than, say, fifty years ago because the market is glutted with them. Increasing the M0 is going to drive down the value of the Dollar. For those buying U.S. goods, this is a windfall because they can get more for their Pounds or Yen or whatever. Going the other way, however, it raises the price of foreign goods and is, in effect, a tariff, i.e., protectionist. Is this correct?
It would seem that changes in monetary policy would produce predictable effects. If not here then where should the reader look? --Virgil H. Soule (talk) 18:23, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Different schools of economics (see :Category:Schools of economic thought and methodology) predict different effects from the same actions. Unfortunately, it is impossible to do controlled scientific experiments on monetary or fiscal policies, because one could never replicate all the circumstances which might affect the outcome and the cost of such an experiment would be prohibitive in any case. So one is left trying to: (1) make untestable inferences from theories about human behavior; (2) trying to correlate time series of economic variables and jumping to conclusions about what it means; or (3) generalizing from experiments with a few people over a short period of time and without much motivation to economies with hundreds of millions of people over decades motivated by life-or-death consequences. Take your pick. JRSpriggs (talk) 18:16, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is common to do what are known as 'Difference in differences' studies on 'natural experiments'. That is, we look at a policy change (the 'treatment') that occurs because of some outside factor (e.g. the central bank governor of a country has a heart attack, and is replaced with someone who holds very different views), and then we compare what happens in the country affected by the change with countries that are similar (the control group).  Results obtained this way are almost exactly equivalent to experimental studies; difference in differences studies have been a real success story in economic analysis over the last couple of decades, confirming many things that were previously only suspected, and overturning many long held beliefs that turned out to be wrong.

replies: text:  Sorry for delay in replying, I just noticed the query. This paper (although a bit dated) is a good introduction to the literature. This note from the NBER provides a good description of the methodology of Difference-in-Differences (DiD). It evolved from the analysis of natural experiment that were first suggested in the 1970's in response to worries about endogeneity in the models, and the inability of establishing causal relationships. There are many research papers using the DiD methods. Just do a google scholar search on "natural experiment" or "difference in differences". Regards LK (talk) 10:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quantitative Easing 

message: I made a small change to a new paragraph at the end of Monetary policy#Gold standard. The change had three parts: (1) I added the word "supposed" to a description of deflation as a major disadvantage of the gold standard; (2) I linked the word "deflation" to our article on that subject; and (3) I added "If unexpected," at the beginning of a sentence describing the alleged harm caused by deflation due to increasing the burden of debt.  reverted my edit, saying "This is standard economic theory.".
Standard theory or not, the fact is that deflation is good, not bad. I was merely trying to change the article to avoid implying a falsehood. The harm described by the paragraph is due not to deflation per se, but to an unexpected change from one economic policy (inflation) to another (deflation). If mild deflation persisted for an extended period so that people understood it and expected it, then the level of debt would be very low and not more burdensome than anticipated when people entered into it (unless they miscalculated, as they could just as easily under the current inflationary policy).

message: "Research by Cass Business School has also suggested that perhaps it is the central bank policies of expansionary and contractionary policies that are causing the economic cycle; evidence can be found by looking at the lack of cycles in economies before central banking policies existed."
This seems like language designed to support a theory regarding the immorality of central banks. I take issue with the historical claim - historians of the Late Middle Ages agree that the late middle ages was a time of protracted recession. The statement that there was a "lack of cycles" in economics before central banks is ridiculous; war, famine, disease and coinage debasement, trade imbalances - just for examples - came and went in cycles. However, I am a history major not an econ major so it;s possible I am missing some nuances. At the very least this should be cited.

thread_title:  History of Monetary Policy 

message: ...I am trying to understand why the dollar loses value. In my accord the dollar is worth 100 pennies, and half is worth .50 cents. When a neighbor reconditions a lawnmower and sells it for more and has that price at a same balanced rate for the next year this is a good thing. Although the next year without knowing anything of the rise and cost of supply and demand that same person decides to up the sales price. This is now a consideration of inflation. Two streets over another neighbor realizes that inflation had been sneaking around the corner. he also is justified that the lawnmower salesman really did not know as much as he did. Unfortunately he fixed his own. That in a sense is a form of deflation. Saving money will always cause a sort of deflation. But when we spend and without realizing how much we spend, people who have more money will tend to do this, will allow others to notice. This notice is called demand. This now allows some to up there price. That is inflation. Money was used but theoretically it was not. Inflation is only determined when the evaluation of two countries has been evaluated. This evaluation is the effort of gathering all the price index categories and determining an average weight and balance of the cost in which "Had been" conducted. At this point and time money was being used but not in the actually calculation. Money will always be used. When the Federal Reserves Bank puts money into the economy it does it for a couple of reasons. One of them is that there is a shortage of funds in circulation. Any guess why. Probably a rise in the population. When this happens economists get the foot hold on this information and eventually after a sort of decline to a decline in value, in other words a balance these economist will level out the score as well. They will adjust to the rising "needs" of statistics and up the cost. This will more then happen when the lower level gets the information. This way competition has meaning although the first set price value will show up. So why are not we informed of the money collaboration. Why is it that the dollar will somehow loose value. Question now is what is the value of the dollar. If anyone can answer that all the power to you. And with that power share it as well. I know I'm waiting. This can be deleted by me at another time upon request. But please do the figuring here. What is inflation. It can't be the printing of money because not everyone knows how much that is. When you find out let us know. This way we can expect what we may get in money. If you were the most interesting person in the neighborhood and knew of it's growing capabilities you would start to build another taxi cab. That is inside information. That is also a form of inflation and a type of monetary system. When the neighborhood goes to the lofty wilderness, you will move with the move to find again a rise in demand and a rise in supply. Oops that was a rise in supply and a rise in demand. Remember no money as of yet has been exchanged.

message: Should this article mention various political perspectives? Benjamin (talk) 09:08, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Political aspects might change the whole monetary policy within a short time. --Factspro (talk) 12:42, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

message: Regretfully, there is a REDIRECT from "Monetary regime" to this article that makes no sense at all. We should of course  have a separate article titled "Monetary regime," since a regime is the whole monetary framework within which policies are applied. We don't have it yet but this is not a reason to have the two notions bundled into the same article,  about policy. "Regime" and "policy" are distinctly different. -The Gnome (talk) 07:18, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Regime'" not the same as "policy" 

message: Tight money redirects here but isn't used anywhere in the article. Can a mention (ideally a definition) be added, so the reader who searches the term is taken to what they're looking for? Or should the redirect be converted to a soft-redirect to wikt:tight money? – Arms & Hearts (talk) 17:07, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

message: Hi! I am writing this section in order to try and create some consensus regarding the multiple images of Central Banks in the article. I believe that a few of them (such as the collage I added to the top of the page) are useful to getting a better understanding of the topic, but the section on monetary policy instruments is quite bloated with images of Central Banks. I believe this section would be much better served by graphs and diagrams of the concepts described—an image of the Bank of Finland does little to educate on reserve requirements. Please let me know what you think!
An alternative is to place these images in a gallery for de-cluttering but I think this would again not do much to improve the value of the article.--A. C. Santacruz  ⁂  Talk 09:21, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, they should be added in sections where the bank is mentioned by name and the instrument is hard to describe through images. --A. C. Santacruz  ⁂  Talk 09:41, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
