1. Andy Haldane:

   If global real interest rates are persistently lower, central banks may then need to think imaginatively about how to deal on a more durable basis with the technological constraint imposed by the zero lower bound on interest rates, that may require a rethink, a fairly fundamental one, of a number of current central bank practices.

2. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester:

   While explicit forward guidance was used as a policy tool during the recession and earlier in the recovery, in more normal times, away from the zero lower bound, I believe forward guidance should be viewed more as a communications device, as such, I would like to see the forward guidance evolve over time to give more information about the conditions we systematically assess in calibrating the stance of policy to the economy's actual progress and anticipated progress toward our dual-mandate goals.

3. Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota:

   Given these costs, I anticipate that monetary policy will be insufficiently accommodative during periods at the nominal interest rate lower bound, which will lead the economy to undershoot the (Fed)’s inflation and employment objectives, fiscal policymakers can mitigate this risk by choosing to maintain higher levels of public debt than markets currently anticipate.

5. Adrian Raftery:

   This addresses a somewhat different question, namely how much warming should we expect if fossil fuel emissions were to suddenly cease, in contrast, our study tries to assess how much warming we should expect given realistic future trajectories of emissions. Thus the other study provides a lower bound on expected emissions and warming, and this is indeed lower than the likely range we find, as we would expect.
