Learning About Bernanke

Author

Listed:
  • Laurence Seidman

Abstract

The new Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke, has inherited a hot seat. This economist analyzes four of his key speeches in recent years to try to explain his theoretical view of fiscal and monetary policy. Bernanke's writings are far more lucid than Alan Greenspan's. Seidman concludes that after Bernanke has established his anti-inflation credentials, he will adopt a policy that balances concerns over unemployment and inflation.
