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 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."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"According to the European Central Bank the objective of monetary policy is "to maintain price stability" which is set out in the Treaty establishing the European Community. Stated is: "Without prejudice to the objective of price stability" the Eurosystem will also "support the general economic policies in the Community with a view to contributing to the achievement of the objectives of the Community." (ECB, 2007) This is to include a "high level of employment" as well as "sustainable and non-inflationary growth". (ECB, 2007) The provisions of the Treaty illustrate the consensus that: (1) the benefits of price stability are of a substantial nature; and (2) the natural role of the monetary policy in the economy is to maintain price stability. (ECB, 2007; paraphrased)"

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."

From the Paper
"For many years the Chinese Yuan was pegged to the U.S. dollar and, until recently, this was not a foreign policy issue. However, as the U.S. as well as other markets, have seen their import markets grow far beyond their export markets and consequently maintain extreme trade deficits, the artificial manipulation of the Yuan has now become a matter of foreign policy. Many foreign markets view China's exchange regime, managed float or not, to be an economic weapon and one in which it has not been reticent to utilize."

Abstract
This paper gives a brief summary of the U.S. economic performance since 2003 and then discusses the current debate over how much the Fed should communicate the goals, strategy, and conduct of monetary policy. The paper emphasizes the issue of transparency and explains why transparency is important not just for accountability, but for monetary policy to succeed at all.
From the Paper
"The sub par performance of the U.S. economy extended into the first half of 2003. Although accommodative macroeconomic policies and continued robust productivity growth helped to sustain aggregate demand, businesses remained cautious about spending and hiring. All told, real gross domestic product continued to rise in the first half of the year but less quickly than the economy's productive capacity was increasing, and margins of slack in labor and product markets thereby widened further. As a result, underlying inflation remained low."

Abstract
This paper explains that the economy of the United States is based upon the idea of free marketplace and enterprise, but the economic structure includes a fair degree of governmental regulation. The author points out that this federal monetary policy is primarily the job the Federal Reserve, or the Fed; through the buying and selling of governmental securities, the Fed can control the nation's money supply and important related factors, such as interest rates. The paper states that, currently, because of positive economic indicators, the Fed has reverted to its 1999-2001 monetary policy of reducing slowly the amount of cash in the economy by selling securities with the goal of reducing accommodation, preventing inflation, and aiding stability.
From the Paper
"More recently, economic analysts have noted continued expansion in economic activity in most sectors, and significant gains in employment. And, despite an increase in consumer price inflation resulting from the surge in energy prices, core consumer price inflation has remained stable. Along with the promising economic reports and indicators came future predictions of solid economic growth for the nation. With this information, the Fed continued its policy of slowly raising the fed rate (through controlling cash flow in the economy by buy and selling securities-in this case, by selling them). Of course, the Fed was careful to approach the interest rate elevation carefully."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The continual decline of the US dollar, as has been witnessed recently, might have been a matter of serious concern in the International Financial Market, but the tightening of the monetary policy and the financial markets by the US Federal Reserve is seen as a transitory step toward economic recovery. However, it is a positive sign that the Australian dollar's movement against a host of other floating currency has been modest. Even the performance of the Australian labor market in the recent months, which indicates the unemployment rate declining to its lowest level since the 1970s, deserves appreciation."

From the Paper
"The new Chairman of the Federal Reserve intends to continue the policy direction of his predecessor, Alan Greenspan. ("Testimony of the Chairman...," February 15, 2006) From early 2001 to June 2004, the Fed had pursued a highly "accommodative" monetary policy in which the interest rates were constantly lowered to increase the money supply and ward off the threat of recession. From mid-June 2004 onward, the Fed started to raise the interest rates to reduce the chances of inflation and to stabilize the prices. Achieving long-term price stability continues to be the number one stated direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. It intends to achieve such stability by keeping the long-term inflation rates low by keeping a close eye on the economic and financial indicators. Currently, the Fed believes that the long-term expectations of inflation are that it would remain low. Hence, the Federal Reserve intends to keep the interest rates at the current level in the short-term and to increase them slightly in case of further inflation pressures triggered by higher fuel prices."
