伯南克也博客了Ben Bernanke blog

http://www.brookings.edu/blogs/ben-bernanke

昨日(30/3/2015),前美联储主席Ben Bernanke(本·伯南克)也开博客。第一天,就写了两篇博文:

  1. Inaugurating a new blog (开一个新的博客)
  2. Why are interest rates so low? (为什么利率这么低呢?)

第一篇,介绍中说“现在,我是一个平民,我可以在经济和金融问题,更多的评论,我的话不会被美联储放在显微镜下观察”
“Now that I’m a civilian again, I can once more comment on economic and financial issues without my words being put under the microscope by Fed watchers”

还有他声明:我的意见是我个人的,并不一定反映我以前的同事在美联储的意见。
“my opinions are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my former colleagues at the Fed”

第二篇,为什么利率这么低呢?
解释什么是美联储能做和不能做影响经济的实际利率。


实际利率是最终决定于经济,而不是美联储。解释为什么整个工业化世界的实际利率很低,不只是在美国。
“The state of the economy, not the Fed, is the ultimate determinant of the sustainable level of real returns. This helps explain why real interest rates are low throughout the industrialized world, not just in the United States. ”


他还说下一篇文章将会谈谈什么经济特点朔造成今天的低实际利率。

伯南克很欢迎大家到他的博客里留言。
