摘要:Today there is a growing
unease, even among some proponents
of globalization, that the increasingly
free flow of goods and capital around
the globe may be eroding the ability
of central banks to accomplish one
of their most vital tasks: controlling
inflation within their national
borders. But in Globalization and
Monetary Control (NBER Working
Paper No. 13329), NBER Research
Associate Michael Woodford concludes
that, although globalization
certainly poses new challenges, central
banks large and small still retain
considerable power to keep inflation
in check.
