U.S. Monetary Policy Forum

The US Monetary Policy Forum (USMPF) is an annual conference that brings academics, market economists and policymakers together to discuss U.S. monetary policy. A standing group of academic and private sector economists (the USMPF panelists) has rotating responsibility for producing a report on a critical medium-term issue confronting the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Reports for previous years are available online: 2007 | 2008.

This year's conference was held in New York City on February 27, 2009. Learn more
