/ October 28, 2011Hmmm. The robot voices kind of creep me out. I think I will stick to hearing Scott Sumner’s presentations. Good explanation of NGDP targeting in any case, though I don’t really believe in the liquidity trap personally.

/ October 29, 2011@Blake: Neither does Lars Svensson, and he’s pretty New Keynesian. At the very least, it’s strange to say monetary policy is ineffective when the central bank can print a bunch of currency and buy foreign exchange; I guarantee that would change peoples’ inflation expectations.
