Optimal monetary policy: Run economy hot during supply contractions.
The article discusses how central banks should adjust monetary policy during temporary supply shortages when demand is slow to react. The optimal strategy is to boost the economy until supply recovers, but not keep policy loose the entire time. When demand is initially low, rate cuts should be made early to stimulate demand before supply picks up. If inflation is also slow to change, the central bank should gradually cool down the economy over time after overheating it during the low-supply phase.
