摘要：Iam very pleased to be asked to participate
in this conference that honors the career
of Bill Poole. As a student of monetary
economics I, like all my generation, was
substantially influenced by Poole (1970). I was
pleased to meet him many times at the annual
St. Louis economic policy conference, both before
and after he became president of the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis. We were also very
grateful that he came to London in 2000 to give
the annual Henry Thornton Lecture at the Cass
Business School of City University.
