Abstract
Abstract.The paper suggests that during Greenspan's incumbency the Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered interest rates rapidly when asset price developments suggested a crisis potential. Whereas, when asset markets were growth‐supporting, the Fed did not raise interest rates. This asymmetry contributed to a downward‐trend in interest rates which pushed US interest rates down to zero in the current crisis.
