Cochrane on interest rates and exchange rates
SHARE

In a recent publication titled “Alternative Approaches to Monetary Policy,” the author delves into the intricacies of low interest rate monetary policies. The book discusses two different policies – one expansionary and the other contractionary – both leading to lower interest rates. However, it is important to note that the impact of these policies on currency strength can vary significantly. While one policy may result in a weaker currency in the long run, the other could lead to a stronger currency.

The author emphasizes that interest rates should not be equated with monetary policy. International investors tend to accept lower interest rates in countries where the currency is expected to appreciate over time. This dynamic further complicates the relationship between interest rates and monetary policy.

A similar perspective is presented by economist John Cochrane, who discusses the influence of interest rates on exchange rates. Cochrane’s analysis showcases different scenarios where higher interest rates can lead to either depreciation or appreciation of the exchange rate. The complexity of the relationship between interest rates and exchange rates highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of monetary policy.

While the author advocates for targeting the market forecast of NGDP growth using futures contracts as a means of guiding monetary policy, Cochrane explores the “Fiscal Theory of the Price Level” as a potential solution to the indeterminacy issues surrounding interest rates and exchange rates.

Despite some differences in approach, both authors share a critical view of the standard economic model and seek alternative frameworks for understanding monetary policy. The author expresses a desire for Cochrane to join the market monetarist team, acknowledging his expertise and influence in the field.

For readers interested in a deeper exploration of these concepts, a related post is available on the author’s new blog. The post delves into the nuances of the interest rate-monoculture and provides further insights into the complexities of monetary policy.

Overall, the discussion surrounding interest rates, exchange rates, and monetary policy highlights the need for a more comprehensive and nuanced approach to economic analysis. By challenging traditional models and exploring alternative frameworks, economists can gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics shaping global financial markets.
