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. 410 0$aStudies in business cycles ;$vno. 30. 606 $aInflation (Finance)$vCongresses 606 $aMonetary policy$vCongresses 615 0$aInflation (Finance) 615 0$aMonetary policy 676 $a332.4/1 701 $aRomer$b Christina$01682307 701 $aRomer$b David$0116990 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820667003321 996 $aReducing inflation$94052328 997 $aUNINA
