St. Louis Fed President Bullard Releases Research Paper on the “Seven Faces of ‘The Peril’ ”

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard has released a new research paper that argues that the Federal Open Market Committee’s extended period language may be increasing the probability of a Japanese-style deflationary outcome in the U.S. within the next several years. In the paper, “Seven Faces of ‘The Peril,’ ” Bullard concludes that an appropriate quantitative easing policy offers the best hope for avoiding a low nominal interest rate, deflationary outcome.
