曼哈顿政策研究所-改革美联储的治理以实现更好的货币效果（英）-2024.3-25页_384kb

Federal Reserve governance reforms are proposed to balance independence and accountability, addressing recent policy errors and political drift. Key issues include accountability deficits, expanded political roles (e.g., credit rationing, bank regulation, climate policy), and revolving door人事安排. The report suggests reforms such as缩短 board member and Reserve Bank leader terms to eight years with at-will presidential removal, prohibiting post-service roles in the executive branch, nationalizing Reserve Banks for greater democratic legitimacy, and expanding FOMC voting to enhance regional input. Other measures include integrating state governors in Reserve Bank appointments, cordon off nonmonetary functions, and foster monetary federalism to mitigate groupthink and improve policy outcomes. These changes aim to maintain insulation from daily politics while ensuring democratic oversight, potentially restoring public trust and enhancing monetary stability through better checks and balances.
