摘要：Welcome to the Thirty-Second
Annual Policy Conference sponsored
by the Federal Reserve Bank
of St. Louis. Our theme this year
is ¡°Monetary Policy Under Uncertainty.¡± We
chose this topic to coordinate with Bill Poole¡¯s
imminent completion of 10 years of service at
the Bank and his contributions over the years to
the policy debate. Now that Bill¡¯s forthcoming
retirement as president of the Bank is official,
we can plainly say that this conference is being
held in his honor. We have tried to keep our
motivation below Bill¡¯s radar screen, though I
suspect that we have not been completely successful.
He has been gracious enough to limit his
inquiries and not spoil our fun.
