Editors’ Summary of the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity – 1986 No 1

George L. Perry and William C. Brainard

1986, No. 1

THIS ISSUE of Brookings Papers on Economic Activity contains papers
and discussions presented at the forty-first conference of the Brookings
Panel on Economic Activity, which was held in Washington, D.C., on
April 3 and 4, 1986. Three major articles cover, respectively, the role of
liquidity constraints in tax policy analysis, the perplexing relationship
between short-term and long-term interest rates, and the relations
between the cost of capital and business fixed investment. A special
symposium of four short papers explores exchange rate, trade, and
capital flow issues arising from the fluctuation of the dollar’s exchange
rate during the early 1980s.

The Brookings Institution is committed to quality, independence, and impact.
We are supported by a diverse array of funders. In line with our values and policies, each Brookings publication represents the sole views of its author(s).
