Unconventional Monetary Policy: Between the Past and Future of Monetary Economics [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
In this paper we discuss some of the monetary policy issues that have involved major central banks worldwide since the 2008 8nancial crisis, and which remain open. We provide an ex-cursus of the unconventional monetary policies adopted by central banks in the last decade, focusing on the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve, and we discuss the ratio-nale and eecacy of some unconventional monetary instruments, of innation targeting and of central bank independence. We also provide a perspective on possible future developments of monetary policy. We argue that while unconventional monetary policy was useful, there is still ample space for improvement: in the recessions to come, unconventional monetary policy will need to be better coordinated with hscal, micro-and macro-prudential policies to provide more inclusive results that might positively aaect the real economy beyond the nancial system.
