The Strategy and Consistency of Federal Reserve Monetary Policy, 1919-1933

Abstract

dc:description

This dissertation examines the strategy and consistency of Federal Reserve monetary policy from 1919-1933. The controversy concerning the Fed's failure to undertake expansionary policies during the Great Depression makes policy consistency an important question to address. Were the Fed's failures due to institutional changes within the System, which altered the Fed's strategy mistakenly? Or, were they the result of a flawed strategy, maintained mistakenly in the face of changed circumstances?
