We should take care of a Bubble while it is Inflating


Historically there was an asymmetry: Ten years ago Bernanke and his predecessor Greenspan always said that there is nothing that can be done when a bubble is inflating, only after it burst could the Fed try to avoid collateral damage. I think one lesson from the crisis is that you should take care of a bubble while it is inflating. The debate is whether you should do it with interest rate policy or with macroprudential tools.
