According to most analysts, the novelty in the announcement was the Fed’s willingness to be explicit about its quantitative policy thresholds and, therefore, about the future course of its monetary policy. But my reading of what the Fed announced (and what Bernanke said in the subsequent press conference) suggests that the innovation goes beyond this.
多数分析家认为美联储公告的新奇之处是明确界定了量化政策的阈值，并由此指明了货币政策的未来走向。但我在解读美联储公告内容（以及伯南克在随后新闻发布会上的讲话）后认为这绝非美联储政策的全部创新之处。
