"On Secular Stagnation: A Response to Bernanke"Ben Bernanke inaugurated his blog with a set of thoughtful observations on the determinants of real interest rates and the secular stagnation hypothesis that I have invoked in an effort to understand recent macroeconomic developments. I agree with much of what Ben writes. His challenges to the secular stagnation hypothesis have helped me clarify my thinking and provide an opportunity to address a number of points where I think there has been some confusion in the public debate.
