How the Bundesbank Conducts Monetary Policy --Contributors --Author Index --Subject IndexWhile there is ample evidence that high inflation is harmful, little is known about how best to reduce inflation or how far it should be reduced. In this volume, sixteen distinguished economists analyze the appropriateness of low inflation as a goal for monetary policy and discuss possible strategies for reducing inflation. Section I discusses the consequences of inflation. These papers analyze inflation's impact on the tax system, labor market flexibility, equilibrium unemployment, and the public's sense of well-being. Section II considers the obstacles facing central bankers in achieving low inflation. These papers study the precision of estimates of equilibrium unemployment, the sources of the high inflation of the 1970's, and the use of non-traditional indicators in policy formation. The papers in section III consider how institutions can be designed to promote successful monetary policy, and the importance of institutions to the performance of policy in the United States, Germany, and other countries. This timely volume should be read by anyone who studies or conducts monetary policy.Studies in business cycles ;no. 30.Inflation (Finance)CongressesMonetary policyCongressesElectronic books.Inflation (Finance)Monetary policy332.4/1Romer Christina887047Romer David116990National Bureau of Economic Research.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451451703321Reducing inflation1980881UNINA06038oam 2200781Ma 450 991045080080332120200324081352.00-429-15345-71-4822-6616-41-281-06214-697866110621490-203-93458-X(CKB)1000000000412964(EBL)325177(OCoLC)320457915(SSID)ssj0000165891(PQKBManifestationID)11180914(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000165891(PQKBWorkID)10162713(PQKB)11246837(MiAaPQ)EBC325177(OCoLC)1051785814(OCoLC-P)1051785814(FlBoTFG)9780429153457(EXLCZ)99100000000041296420180505e20142007 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrGroundwater vulnerability assessment and mapping selected papers from the Groundwater Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping International Conference : Ustrón, Poland, 2004 /edited by Andrzej J.

Numerous new and improved approaches to intrinsic and specific vulnerability assessment (modified DRASTIC, GOD, VULK, VURAAS) are described, some coupled with geophysical and hydrological surveys and hydrodynamic and transport modelling.
