Summary: | The view that tight and easy monetary policy produces asymmetric effects on economic activity has long been recognized in policy debates and in the academic profession (Johnson, 1962). The behavior of the U.S. economy during the 1990-92 recession, when successive cuts in the federal fund rate failed to produce economic recovery, seemed to confirm the traditional view. Furthermore, recently collected empirical evidence for both the United States (De Long and Summers 1988, Cover 1992, Morgan 1993) and Europe (Karras, 1996) strongly support the hypothesis that negative money-supply shocks and/or increases in interest rates reduce output more than monetary expansions raise it.
