November 14, 2000 Conference Summary: Money, Monetary Policy, and Transmission Mechanisms Bank of Canada Review - Autumn 2000 Kevin Clinton, Walter Engert This article summarizes the proceedings of a conference hosted by the Bank of Canada in November 1999.

The second concerned the potential usefulness of monetary aggregates in guiding the economy along a stable non-inflationary growth path.
