From the Paper
"In addition to discount window lending discussed previously, the Federal Reserve can control economic growth either by engaging in open market operations (the buying and selling of U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities in the open market) or by changing reserve requirements (requirements for the amount of funds that depository institutions must hold in reserve against deposits made by their customers) (Monetary policy). In open market operations, the Federal Reserve can inject money into the system by buying securities which will help stimulate the economy and fight deflation. Conversely, when it sells securities it pulls money out of the system which will help slow economic growth and fight inflation. Increasing reserve ratio requirements would be a policy to counter inflation and slow growth because they banks have less deposits available for loans; decreasing the ratio would do exactly the opposite."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Let us look at the situation in US during the last quarter and that showed a decline even more than the expectations of the pessimists. The growth during that quarter was about 1.1 percent and this figure was less than half the forecast and nearly a quarter of 4.1 percent achieved in the previous quarter. The official figures will not come out till the end of the month since there are adjustments required for the hurricane. This is the second time the drop took place since the recovery in the economy started in the last quarter of 2001. The drop is very sharp during the period of a quarter and the reasons are probably not confined to the quarter itself."

Abstract
This paper answers questions regarding the importance of fiscal and monetary policy. It also describes the affects they will have on interest rates, income levels, spending, savings as well as government expenditures.
From the Paper
"Expansionary policy is a description of actions used to help increase the money supply in an economic system. For example if money supply is low or the amount of money being spent in an economy is low then banks may choose to lower interest rates and employers may choose to raise income or government reduce taxes. Regardless there will be more money in the economy, which will also increase the amount of investments individuals might choose as well as overall increases of capital. In addition to this the standard of living will most likely increase due to the additional funds each household would have in their discretionary income. Although some savings will also increase most often the increase in money is observed by households spending more and is relative to their income. It is true, the more one makes the more one spends."

Abstract
This paper explains the remedies sometimes used by the government in order to correct extreme fluctuations in the economy. The paper also examines former U.S. President Reagan's economic policies and the damage it caused to the country. Reagan's economic policies, the paper explains, rejected long held principles founded by famed British economist John Maynard Keynes and, in so doing, caused a resurgence of monopolies, an increase in the government and national debt, and an increase in the poverty and unemployment rates.
From the Paper
"Every nation's economy goes through so-called business cycles, the extremes of which are recessions and sometimes depressions (also known as severe recessions). During these times unemployment is high and business is not operating at full capacity. In principal, the Federal Reserve's policy is to correct such cycles, by becoming counter cyclical (acting in the opposite direction of where the economy is heading). Critics who keep tabs on the Fed accuse it of not being productive because of how long it takes the Fed to act. They claim that by the time the Fed starts reducing the money supply it is already time to increase it."

Fiscal and Monetary Policy, 2004.
This paper creates a hypothetical scenario to discuss fiscal and monetary policy.

Abstract
This paper explains that public relations impacts the federal government and the Federal Reserve chairman in the areas of national fiscal policy, which is used to control the money supply and credit to stabilize the economy. The author points out that the Fed uses three monetary policy tools to influence the availability and cost of money and credit: open market operations, the discount rate, and reserve requirements. The paper stresses that a high unemployment rate usually produces low consumer confidence; but, until consumers are willing to buy more, businesses will not produce more goods and services, thus occasionally requiring the federal government to step in to ameliorate things.
From the Paper
"Of course, there are tradeoffs that must be made in every economy scenario. Banks will not like the dip in the rates at which they lend money. Nor will the national and international financial community necessarily approve a larger budget deficit. But consumer confidence drives the American economy, ultimately, and a more secure American employee is a more secure and a more spendthrift American consumer. Ultimately, this area must be addressed through the interest rate, and then through increased government spending, before the economy can hope to recover."

From the Paper
"The major institution of centralized monetary policy in the United States is the Federal Reserve Bank ? which has been much in the news lately as it has continued to drop the discount rate. To understand why it has taken the actions that it has during this calendar year and to understand the relationship between the Federal Reserve Bank, a centralized monetary policy and fluctuations in interest we must in fact focus on the central bank ? or the Fed, as it is nearly universally called, even by those who never even think about investing in the world of high finance."

From the Paper
"Inflation, which is one of the paramount projects of the FED, seems to be remaining low. The Federal Open Market Committee has indicated that the risks to inflation are on the downside. "Currently both the price stability and maximum employment objectives of the Federal Reserve point us in the same direction." (Federalreserve.com). The continuing support of monetary and fiscal policies, together with the natural resiliency and strength of the U.S. economy, will in all probability lead to expansion without inflation."

Abstract
This paper discusses the recent testimony of Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the annual report to Congress by the Federal Reserve. This paper examines the current state of the economy as well as the Federal Reserve handling of monetary and fiscal policy relative to the economy. Of particular importance is the Federal Reserves strategic shift in policy from accommodative to appropriate.
From the Paper
"The Federal Reserve, as represented by Alan Greenspan, in recent testimony before Congress believes the state of the economy is, overall, very positive. Mr. Greenspan, among other factors, listed employment numbers, retail spending and business investment as reasons to believe the economy is trending stronger (Testimony, 2005, para.5). Mr. Greenspan also alluded to the character of the US housing market as a leading generator of the nation's wealth at the moment but cautioned the current "froth" in the residential home market is a potential threat to the economy (Testimony, 2005, para.42). In sum the Federal Reserve is very upbeat about the state of the economy but has considerable reservations concerning the threat of inflation led by rising oil and gas prices: A flattening out of the prices of crude oil and natural gas...would also lessen upward pressures on inflation."

From the Paper
"The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has been an important force behind increasing trade between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. "By increasing trade primarily between Canada and the US and Mexico and the US, the economies of both Canada and Mexico have grown more integrated with, and dependent upon, the US market" (Moore, 2004). One argument for Cuba to join NAFTA is that the two are already linked politically. In other word, Cuba offers a form of a "release valve for Canadian and Mexican insecurities about sovereignty in the wake of NAFTA" (Moore, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper examines why monetary policy is an important aspect of macroeconomic stability. The paper looks at why the tools, procedures and the body for enforcing these tools and procedures are very important aspects of any society. The paper then explains that monetary policy is a tool utilized by policy makers to correct inflationary or recessionary gaps. Next, the paper points out that the tools of monetary policy are used throughout an economy for other purposes; hence there are drawbacks to using it for macroeconomic stability. The paper also explores whether the marginal benefit from monetary policy exceeds the marginal cost of using the tools of monetary policy. In addition, the paper looks at how monetary policy also has 'spillover' effects for other markets, such as the financial markets or general business operation. In conclusion, the paper shows that lowering inflation or closing recessionary gaps have been the primary focus of the policies.

From the Paper
"Monetary policy is used during inflationary or recessionary periods to correct the problem. Ideally during inflationary periods the Federal Bank and policymakers want to decrease the money supply and increase interest rates, so that borrowing/spending can be constrained. During recessionary periods, policymakers will try to do the opposite, that is increase the money supply, so that interest rates can rise and increase investment and spending, which will have a spill-over effect on employment (BOG: Federal Reserve System, 2006, p. 15)."

Abstract
This paper looks at this second chapter where the author outlines the branches of government which are responsible for creating and implementing the monetary policies which regulate all corporations operating within or through the United States of America. The writer explains that the three major branches which contribute the most to economic policy making are the Executive Branch, Congress, and the Federal Reserve. Each of these branches is examined for its contribution.
From the Paper
"Political institutions are largely responsible for the creation of economic policy, and likewise they are often held to blame if economic policy results in a depression of the economy. There are many types of economic policies which are decided on by different appointed policy makers; therefore decision making is extremely decentralized, allowing a variety of policy participants and policies to state concerns and objectives, without completely exposing themselves to possible future direct criticism. This allows for breathing room and a healthy dialogue within the elected power structure, as there is no one sector of the Government which is responsible for creating all of the nation's economic policies. The process of economic policy making is not completed at one singular level of government, but rather is the result of the combined collaboration of bodies within the separation of powers, and is a result of the checks and balances system."

Abstract
The paper discusses how monetary policy is crucial to the economy and impacts all types of economic and financial decisions individuals make. It shows that since the United States is the largest economy in the world, its monetary policy also has significant economic and financial effects on foreign countries. The paper analyzes and examines various issues related to monetary policy. First, the state of the United States economy is discussed. Next, the issue of whether the Federal Reserve is more concerned about high inflation or the possibility of a recession is analyzed. Lastly, this paper outlines the direction of a recent monetary policy and examines the policy actions the Federal Reserve has taken to confirm that direction.
From the Paper
"While monetary policy cannot impact either output or employment in the long run, it may affect them in the short run. For example, when demand contracts and there is a recession, the Federal Reserve may stimulate the economy, temporarily, and help push it back toward its long-run level of output by lowering interest rates. While monetary policy cannot expand the economy beyond its potential growth path or reduce unemployment in the long run, it may stabilize prices in the long run. Price stability is basically low inflation, i.e., inflation that is so low that consumers do not worry about it when they make decisions about what to buy, whether to borrow or invest, etc."

Abstract
This paper deals with a general explanation of monetary policy and in what situations expansionary monetary policy should be used. This is further discussed by involving the role of interest rates and economic strength of the country, relating to most recent statistics.
From the Paper
"Monetary policy is the ?attempt to moderate the business cycle and control inflation by changing the quantity of money in circulation to change interest rates? (McTaggart et al, 1999: 27.2). In another words, it is the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)?s attempt to change the quantity of money and interest rates so as to affect aggregate demand and, ultimately, equilibrium real GDP and the price level. McDonald defines monetary policy as the government?s policy on setting the level of the money supply (1996: 149)."

"Monetary policy is a tool utilized by policy makers to correct inflationary or recessionary gaps. The tools of monetary policy are used throughout an economy for other purposes; hence there are drawbacks to using it for macroeconomic stability. The issue that should not be trivialized is whether the marginal benefit from monetary policy exceeds the marginal cost of using the tools of monetary policy. If this true, then its best for policy makers to undertake the action, the contrary holds true."
