Inflation targeting, the financial crisis and macroeconomics; an interview with Mark Gertler

Few people have had such strong influence on macroeconomics in general and on the New Keynesian School of macroeconomics as Mark Gertler has. His work with Ben Bernanke and Simon Gilchrist on the role of credit and financial conditions on business cycles, and with Ben Bernanke on whether the central banks should respond to asset price bubbles, are some examples of his influential work. As part of the 2009 conference, Gertler visited the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Özer Karagedikli from the Economics Department of the Reserve Bank interviewed him.
