10:33 am
going back to the great recession and a weak recovery that has been in place since 2010 in the u.s. and elsewhere. monetary policy is quite a secondary matter even though that might not be what they want to hear. julie: it may not be what they want to hear either. mario draghi did not seem to acknowledge that at least to some extent. what please should the central banks have? what should they be doing anything in that kind of scenario -- if anything in that kind of scenario? robert: they should have moved in the opposite direction by a while ago. they should be having short-term interest rates and something like 82% to 3% range, something that is more normal rather than .his crazy policy there is no reason for that kind of policy.
10:34 am
basically, it does not leave any room for positive inflation. if you want to have inflation and a 2% to 3% range, it has to go along with nominal interest rate close to being similar to that. mark: is it time to bid inflation targets? unable-bank seem to be to boost inflation to get near those targets. robert: i think they have been going in the wrong direction. it made sense in terms of 2008 and 2009 to have very deep cuts in nominal interest rates as the federal reserve and other central banks did. the longer-term policy is actually something that has to be an opposite direction. in order to be consistent with inflation, let's say 2% to 3%, short-term nominal interest rates cannot be zero or negative. they have to be something in a positive range, something more in the normal range we used to see in the longer-term history. mark: you have been opposed to
10:35 am
stimulus spending the past, but calls increasing for the government to step up stimulus spending measures. are there any circumstances in which you back stimulus spending? robert: i think there are things the government that can do that are useful, particularly some large-scale infrastructure investments in the u.s. might be productive, but you want to think about that in terms of actual productivity. the product has been very low productivity growth for some years going back to 2010 in the u.s. and maybe even longer. you don't want to think of stimulus spending per se. the main reaction to the great recession in the u.s. particularly since 2009 and 2010 was a big increase in transfer payments. that is not something you think about in terms of stimulating productivity growth, which is the core problem in the u.s. and elsewhere. julie: to back up finally to talking about the fed and boe
10:36 am
interesto more regular rates historically, the argument in the other direction would be that the economies are not strong enough, that they are vulnerable in the event of those interest rates going up. topplethink it would or harm a fragile economy? robert: that has been no economic recovery since 2009, 2010. a recovery in the u.s. means you have to recover some of the gdp lost during the recession so you have to grow it and above normal rate. actually, it has been the opposite. we have had a zero or negative economic recovery since the end of the recession. that is a serious problem. i don't minimize it, but it is about real things. it is about poor investment opportunities, poor growth prospects.
10:37 am
it is not about monetary policy which is a sideshow with respect to the problems we face. mark: place for joining us today. harvard university professor of economics. still coming up on bloomberg, we will hear from sheila of goldman sachs. should will tell us why she thinks there are big opportunities in india. this is bloomberg. ♪

something one of your contributors to your article hones that question. alastair: it has the elements of ending ugly, yes. mark: scary stuff, julie. julie: speaking of that, it is punitive, not preventative. josh: it is punitive. she is angry nobody has gone to jail and they have been no criminal charges of anyone significant on wall street. and she said we are on the outside of a new administration, a new justice department. i want to put pressure on these regulators to be tough, to be tougher than obama's doj has been. she said that explicitly. part of this is meant to guide future behavior. julie: what are her chances of succeeding? josh: i think it is pretty slim. it would be quite a concession
