How to Trigger a Panic Attack at the Fed
I am writing regarding the House of Representative’s consideration of H.R. 3189, the Fed Oversight Reform and Modernization (FORM) Act. The FORM Act would severely impair the Federal Reserve’s ability to carry out its congressional mandate to foster maximum employment and stable prices and would undermine our ability to implement policies that are in the best interest of American businesses and consumers.This legislation would severely damage the U.S. economy were it to become law.
There are a number of harmful provisions in the FORM Act, but the provisions concerning the conduct of monetary policy are especially troubling. Section 2 of the bill would require the Federal Reserve to establish a mathematical formula or “directive policy rule” that would dictate how the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) adjusts the stance of monetary policy at every FOMC meeting. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) would be responsible for determining whether the rule adopted by the FOMC met all the criteria in the legislation. Any time the FOMC was judged not to be in compliance with the GAO-approved rule, the GAO would be required to conduct a full review of monetary policy and submit a report to the Congress.
- First, the bill requires the Fed to chose on its own a “directive policy rule”, a reaction function that prescribes how it would respond to different economic scenarios. In other words, congress would not be forcing a specific rule on the Fed, only asking it to set up a benchmark rule based on the Fed’s own preferences. The Fed could change this rule over time.
- Second, the bill requires the Fed to explain and justify how its preferred rule is different than the “reference policy rule”, which happens to be the 1993 Taylor Rule.
- Third, the GAO would report to congress whether the Fed was following its own rule and whether it changed the rule. This is the ‘audit’ part, since it would require the GAO to investigate why the Fed deviated from or changed the rule.
- Fourth, the Fed chair could be summoned before congress to discuss the GAO findings.
