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)."

From the Paper
"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."

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)."

Abstract
This paper explains that motivation, defined as a force that affects behavior, influences behavior (1) by energizing, changing or initiating behavioral patterns, (2) by determining the behavior a person chooses and (3) by sustaining behavior or determining the individual levels of effort with respect to behavioral patterns. The author point out that pay appears to be a motivator in short-term situations but is ineffective as a long-term solution to reducing costs and increasing productivity. The paper concludes that, by implementing appropriate pay structures, incentive plans and motivation programs; management professionals may be able to shift the focus of employees from the extrinsic reward of pay to the intrinsic rewards of job satisfaction and recognition.

"A similar needs-based theory was outlined by Clayton Alderfer (1969). Alderfer condensed Maslow's five levels into three levels and designated them as his ERG theory. The first, existence needs, encompasses physiological needs as well as safety and security needs. Belongingess and external esteem needs make up the second level of relatedness needs. The third and final level, growth needs, consists of self esteem and self-actualization. This model is very similar to Maslow's as it is hierarchical in nature. That is, lower-level needs must be met before higher-order needs can be fulfilled."

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)"

From the Paper
"The Asian Monetary Fund is the reform measure of the International Monetary Fund, amidst severe economic crisis of East Asia, since the Second World War, were considered as too imposing and too stringent. This led many to seriously think of mild reforms to eradicate the possibility of future economic exigencies. Some others inclusive of Japanese Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa and South Korean Prime Minister Kim Jong-Pil went to the extreme and argued that IMF is quite incapable of healing the ailing Asian economics. They advocated the constitution of Asian Monetary Fund as an alternative to IMF reforms. The prevailing economic disaster in Asian regions has made the Asian institutions vulnerable to serious flaws as well as their responsive towards informality and consensus. The creation of Asian Monetary Fund was first proposed by Japanese Vice-Minister of Finance Eisuke Sakakibura during the year 1997. (Asian vs. International: Structuring an Asian Monetary Fund)"

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
"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."

"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."

Non-Monetary Rewards, 2005.
A discussion on the advantages of non-monetary rewards in the work environment.

Abstract
This paper considers the use of a non-monetary reward system for a department that cannot provide added money for incentive. It notes research showing that non-monetary rewards can be as important as monetary rewards for many employees and so can serve as motivators for improved performance. It claims, therefore, that making such an approach is ideal for any organization or division that has a limited budget or lacks full control of its budget but still needs to use rewards for motivation and job satisfaction.
From the Paper
"Companies often have to find ways of providing rewards that do not involve monetary rewards. Non-monetary rewards can include such things as added perquisites, promotions, recognition, and similar elements in the workplace. Research shows that non-monetary rewards can be as important as monetary rewards for many employees and so can serve as motivators for improved performance, making such an approach ideal for any organization or division that has a limited budget or lacks full control of its budget but still needs to use rewards for motivation and job satisfaction. A study reported by the American Management Association (1999) states that organizations that provide both recognition and job performance measurements enjoy higher levels of job satisfaction among their employees. It is also stated that there is a strong statistical correlation between employee satisfaction and increased company profits, a fact supported by a nationwide survey of U.S. workers ..."

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."

The European Monetary Union, 2005.
This paper discusses the problems of the European Monetary Union (EMU) or as many call it the Common Market, and its future.

Abstract
This paper explains that the future of the the European Monetary Union (EMU) is questionable because the leaders of the EMU and the world have some grave doubts as to its future; however, there is a never-ending stream of applications of new nations, mostly from Eastern Europe, wishing to join. The author points out that the problems revolve around the issues of (1) determining the size of the role of the welfare state; (2) the conflict about monetary policies, led by the United Kingdom and (3) corruption within member nations. The paper suggest that the resolution of the welfare issues through such mechanisms as a community's insurance is unlikely given (1) the cost, (2) the risk factors, (3) the macro-economic factors and (4) the failure of some of the countries already within the EMU to resolve their own individual country's welfare issues.

From the Paper
"Developments towards more segmented welfare states or dual welfare states are likely, although national governments may still maintain regulatory and taxation tools to control the growth of market based and other non-governmental welfare provisions in such a way that universal access to quality welfare provision and relatively equal distributions of income and welfare is possible. This will remain domestic policy issues and choices for which national governments to a large extent can be held politically accountable. But the social and political bases for state organized solidarity. Likewise, new forms of solidarity may develop on a trans-national or trans-regional basis where state boundaries will to a lesser extent than before constrain or limit such solidarity from developing."
