Product Description
This book by a leading authority on monetary policy offers a unique view of the subject from the perspectives of both scholar and practitioner. Frederic Mishkin is not only an academic expert in the field but also has been a high-level policymaker. He is especially well positioned to discuss the changes in the conduct of monetary policy in recent years, in particular the turn to inflation targeting. Monetary Policy Strategy describes his work over the last ten years, offering published papers, new introductory material, and a summing up, "Everything You Wanted to Know about Monetary Policy Strategy, But Were Afraid to Ask," which reflects on what we have learned about monetary policy over the last thirty years.
Mishkin blends theory, empirical evidence, and extensive case studies of monetary policy in advanced and emerging market and transition economies. Throughout, his focus is on these key areas: the importance of price stability and a nominal anchor; fiscal and financial preconditions for achieving price stability; central bank independence as an additional precondition; central bank accountability; the rationale for inflation targeting; the optimal inflation target; central bank transparency and communication; and the role of asset prices in monetary policy.

A good book, but..., 2008-07-24
A very good and detail text about monetary policy.
I bought it because his "The Economics of Money, Banking,...", this one is also good, but no better than the one I read. I download all working papers of Mishkin from NBER, just looks like the details of this book. So, if you read this one, you don't need to read papers.
If you like colorful figures and charts, this one may be disappointing. However, I still recommend Mr.Mishkin's books, although he decided not to be the Federal Governor.
