Abstract
⺠I argue that the Great Moderation can be explained by an overhaul of Federal Reserve doctrine. ⺠This position is supported by public and private statements by Arthur Burns. ⺠Empirical evidence provides additional support for the overhaul of doctrine hypothesis. ⺠Estimated policy rules can explain reduction in volatility of output and inflation. ⺠Fed as inflation creator rather than inflation fighter.
