All four models incorporate the assumptions of rational expectations, short-run nominal inertia, and long-run monetary neutrality, but differ in man...

Empirical evidence suggests that the instrument rule describing the interest rate setting behavior of the Federal Reserve is non-linear. This paper shows that optimal monetary policy under parameter uncertainty can motivate this pattern.
