Tim Duy points us to a striking speech by Lael Brainard, who recently joined the Fed Board of Governors,
which takes a notably more dovish line than we’ve been hearing from Yellen and Fischer.
Basically, Brainard comes down on the Summers/DeLong/Krugman precautionary principle side of the debate,
arguing that given uncertainty about the path of the natural rate of interest,
and great asymmetry in the consequences of moving too soon versus too late,
rate hikes should be put on hold until you see the whites of inflation’s eyes.
