"Monetary Policy and the Expected Adjustment Path of Key Variables"
In an Economic Synopses essay, President James Bullard argues that, following a shock to the economy, we should expect employment and inflation to return to normal slowly and steadily; that is, "missing on both sides of the mandate" should be expected under an appropriate monetary policy.
