Content:
The seminar Monetary Policy in a New Era is a highly interactive course for bachelor students in economics,
building on the lecture «Geld, Zentralbanken und Finanzmärkte». Students learn about recent
monetary policy tools such as quantitative easing, negative interest rates, forward guidance, and dual
interest rate policies. In addition, they discuss (new) monetary policy strategies, including average
inflation targeting, price level targeting, and helicopter money. The main objective is to convey the
intuition behind current monetary policy operations. A description of the course content is available
on YouTube (https://youtu.be/j9aGthLn0aU).
The aim of this seminar is to provide students with a review of the most recent literature on monetary
policy. The focus is on unconventional monetary policy measures, monetary policy tightening («exit
strategies»), as well as monetary policy strategies.
