2. Should measures of in?ation include asset prices (e.g., stock prices and house prices), so that in?ation targeting would require the monetary authorities to act when asset prices rise dramatically?
3. At Christmas and Easter the public withdraws large amounts of cash from their ac- counts. What should central banks do during these periods to stabilize interest rates?
