Interest Rate Rules and Macroeconomic Stabilization
High degrees of relative risk aversion induce indeterminacy in cashin-advance economies. This paper Þnds that Taylor-style policies can pre-empt such sunspot equilibria. SpeciÞc policy recommendations depend on the fundamentals of the economy, i.e. the empirically true value of coefficient of relative risk aversion. ∗This paper was written while I was aDFG Heisenberg Fellow. I would like to tha...
متن کاملInterest Rate Rules and Macroeconomic Stability under Heterogeneous Expectations
The recent macroeconomic literature stresses the importance of managing heterogeneous expectations in the formulation of monetary policy. We use a simple frictionless dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model to investigate inflation dynamics under alternative interest rate rules when agents have heterogeneous expectations, and update their beliefs based on past performance, as in Bro...
متن کاملBackward - Looking Interest - Rate Rules , Interest Rate Smoothing , and Macroeconomic Instability ∗
The existing literature on the stabilizing properties of interest-rate feedback rules has stressed the perils of linking interest rates to forecasts of future inflation. Such rules have been found to give rise to aggregate fluctuations due to self-fulfilling expectations. In response to this concern, a growing literature has focused on the stabilizing properties of interest-rate rules whereby t...

متن کاملOptimal Interest-Rate Rules in a Forward-Looking Model, and Inflation Stabilization versus Price-Level Stabilization∗
This paper characterizes the properties of various interest-rate rules in a basic forwardlooking model. We compare simple Taylor rules and rules that respond to price-level fluctuations (called Wicksellian rules). We argue that by introducing an appropriate amount of history dependence in policy, Wicksellian rules perform better than optimal Taylor rules in terms of welfare, robustness to alter...
