PAW Patrol: Adventure Play Helps Save The Day at The World’s Largest Children’s Museum

Kids and families can now play and save the day with the heroic PAW Patrol pups, at the brand-new PAW Patrol: Adventure Play exhibit, opening Saturday, February 23 at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. Based on Nickelodeon's hit preschool series PAW Patrol (produced by Spin Master Entertainment), this interactive exhibit gives kids and their grownups an opportunity to run rescue missions and work together to overcome challenges in a fun and immersive environment. .. The PAW Patrol: Adventure Play exhibit will travel to children's museums and venues across North America for the next five years, following its Indianapolis debut.

Families will visit Adventure Bay with a group of eight rescue pups. Each pup is inspired by a real-world job like fire fighter (firedog Marshall), police officer (police pup Chase), construction worker (Rubble), fearless pilot (Skye) and more. Just as the heroic pups, who believe "no job is too big, no pup is too small," work together to protect the community on the TV show, families work together to save the day with a can-do attitude at the museum. In the process, kids learn about different jobs within a community and how those real-life professionals coordinate to keep people safe and happy. Be alert to the latest news.

"The big takeaway for children and their grownups is that every team member's skills are valued and serve an important purpose to help the whole team accomplish important goals," said Dr. Jeffrey H. Patchen, president and CEO, The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. "We want little ones to learn about citizenship, helpfulness and solving problems with the assistance of these rescue pups, who team up to help their neighbors who are in trouble."

Each of the pups has special skills, gadgets and vehicles to help them on their rescue missions. In the exhibit, families are invited to pop on a pup pack containing their own imaginary tools and check out the lay of the land from the lookout tower. They can head to Jake's Mountain and scope things out near the snowy slide to see if anyone is in trouble. They can also board the PAW Patroller, push buttons, and drive it up the mountain to help Rubble and Everest rescue a snowboarder stuck in the snow. Those with a taste for foodie adventures can whip up tasty treats in Porter's Café and help Adventure Bay win the Tallest Cake Competition by stacking cake layers as high as they can. Families can also cruise Adventure Bay aboard the Sea Patroller, steering it to rescue baby seagulls and turtles.

Following on the heels of two popular exhibits based on Nickelodeon shows created by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Secrets of the Sewer™, and Dora and Diego – Let's Explore! The hands-on, immersive PAW Patrol: Adventure Play exhibit is a fun way for the whole family to learn bravery and heroism, with exciting stories. The whole family will learn how to combine their skills to problem-solve together and save the day.

St. Louis Fed’s Bullard Weighs the Impact of Quantitative Tightening

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard on Friday offered his views on the future of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet at the 2019 U.S. Monetary Policy Forum hosted by the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.

In his presentation, "When Quantitative Tightening Is Not Quantitative Tightening," Bullard made the argument for why the Fed's balance sheet policy may be less important today than it was during the period when quantitative easing was most effective.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has raised the policy rate and, since late 2017, simultaneously reduced the size of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, he pointed out. Many have argued that the balance sheet reduction—or quantitative tightening (QT) as it is sometimes called in global financial markets—could operate in the background with relatively small macroeconomic effects, Bullard said.

Others argue that balance sheet reduction should have equal and opposite effects relative to balance sheet expansion, or QE, he explained, and, accordingly, that there may be relatively large macroeconomic effects.

The Case for Small Effects from QT

Bullard argued that the case for relatively small macroeconomic effects of balance sheet reduction is more accurate. He suggests that "it is indeed possible to view quantitative easing as having an important influence on the macroeconomy and simultaneously view the macroeconomic effects of unwinding the balance sheet as relatively minor."

"This may be one reason why the FOMC's balance sheet reduction policy beginning in the fall of 2017 seemed to have only minor effects in financial markets," Bullard said.

The balance sheet reduction has arguably been significant, he added, pointing out that the Fed has been able to reduce reserve balances by about 40 percent from the peak.

Baseline Neutrality

Bullard noted a 2010 paper1 suggesting that in situations where financial markets are functioning properly, temporarily expanding the level of reserves beyond the satiation point for banks would have no direct effect on the economy.

This is one way to formulate a neutrality theorem for the size of the Fed's balance sheet in ordinary times or when the policy ra te is well above the zero lower bound, he explained.

"A baseline neutrality theory suggests temporarily increasing the Fed's balance sheet size beyond the minimal level needed to implement monetary policy has no macroeconomic effect at all when the policy rate is well above the zero lower bound," Bullard explained.

Signaling Effects

However, while the Fed's policy rate was near zero, the Fed's balance sheet policy nevertheless had an important macroeconomic impact through a signaling channel, he continued.

Bullard noted that actual effects of quantitative easing appear to be far from neutral,2 and one theory as to why this may be so is that QE did not have direct effects but did send a credible signal about how long the FOMC intended to keep the policy rate near zero.

With the policy rate near zero, he explained, the FOMC may wish to signal convincingly that they will keep the policy rate near zero "for longer," that is, beyond the time that an ordinary approach to monetary policy would call for rising rates. "QE may have been a good approach to accomplish this objective," he said.

"Once the policy rate rose above the lower bound, balance sheet movements no longer provided a valuable signal about the future direction of monetary policy," he added.

This means that baseline neutrality would again apply, Bullard said, "and the size of the balance sheet could be reduced without important macroeconomic consequences." In other words, the balance sheet reduction could occur "in the background," he noted.

Asymmetric Effects

In summary, the financial and macroeconomic impact of the FOMC's balance sheet policy may well be asymmetric, Bullard noted.

"With the policy rate near zero, the effects of QE may have been substantial due to signaling effects," he said. He pointed out that the FOMC normalized the policy rate to a considerable extent during 2017 and 2018. "Now, with the policy rate well above zero, any signaling effects from balance sheet changes have dissipated," Bullard added.

This means quantitative tightening does not have equal and opposite effects from quantitative easing, he pointed out. "Indeed, one may view the effects of unwinding the balance sheet as relatively minor," he said.
