Comments on "How Can Central Banks Deliver Credible Commitment and be 'Emergency Institutions'"
By Paul Tucker. In John H. Cochrane and John B. Taylor, Eds., Central Bank Governance and Oversight Reform, Hoover Institution Press May 2016, p. 31-36. (Chapter pdfs available here) Comments presented at the Hoover conference by the same name, May 21, 2015. Tucker's paper here. Tucker wisely advocates rules for mop ups, lender of last resort, bailouts, etc. I agree, but wouldn't lots more equity so you don't have to mop up be simpler?
