| Abstract: |
This thesis sets out to answer two major questions: was the Federal Reserve to blame, in part or in whole, for the 2007-2009 financial crisis, and what changes should be made to the theory of optimal monetary policy in order to avoid a repeat of the crisis. We survey the conventional theory of optimal monetary policy, as well as the actions of the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank before and in response to the crisis. We consider the possible alternative courses of action and their effects, and we survey the course of the financial crisis itself. Finally, we conclude that, while monetary policy is partially to blame for the crisis, the Federal Reserve itself cannot be significantly faulted for its actions, and that the Federal Reserve and financial regulatory bodies should be combined into a single institution. |
