Abstract
The formulation and implementation of monetary policy is discussed for the period Oct. 1979 to Dec. 1983. Particular emphasis is placed upon understanding the operating procedures of the New York Desk. In this regard, two aspects are stressed. First, the way in which operating procedures derive endogenously from the nature of the monetary policy the Fed desires to implement. Second, the way in which the operating procedures adopted in Oct. 1979 became themselves a source of economic instability and contributed to cyclical behavior in market rates and the money supply.
