The
architects of monetary and fiscal policy seek to use the tools at
their disposal to meet macroeconomic policy objectives. Discuss
some of the challenges – specifically around the timeliness and
accuracy of data – that they face in trying to decide what policies

fiscal policy (but that monetary policy makers can avoid)? Given
all these challenges, what do you think policy makers should do
going forward?
