Robust delegation with uncertain monetary policy preferences
a r t i c l e i n f o Recent research has renewed interest in the exploration of the optimal design of monetary policy institutions in the presence of uncertainty. In this paper, we revisit the rationale for delegation to a weight-conservative central banker when the social planner's knowledge about the true preferences of delegates is ex ante ambiguous and he exhibits a preference for robustne...
متن کاملMonetary Policy in an Uncertain World: Probability Models and the Design of Robust Monetary Rules∗
The past forty years or so has seen a remarkable transformation in macro-models used by central banks, policymakers and forecasting bodies. This papers describes this transformation from reduced-form behavioural equations estimated separately, through to contemporary micro-founded dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models estimated by systems methods. In particular by treating DSGE m...
متن کاملParameters’ Instability, Model Uncertainty and Optimal Monetary Policy
Observed policy rates are smooth. Why should central banks smooth interest rates? We investigate if model uncertainty and parameters instability are a valid reason. We do so by implementing a novel ”thick recursive modelling” approach within the framework of small structural macroeconomic models. At each point in time we estimate all models generated by the combinations of a base-set of k obser...
متن کاملMonetary Aggregates and Monetary Policy
This is a special conference for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and for me personally. The role of monetary aggregates in monetary policy was intensely controversial when I joined the staff of the Board of Governors in May 1969. I was immediately asked to join the staff of the newly formed FOMC Committee on the Directive. Governor Sherman Maisel chaired that committee; the other two member...
متن کاملBiochemical networks with uncertain parameters.
The modelling of biochemical networks becomes delicate if kinetic parameters are varying, uncertain or unknown. Facing this situation, we quantify uncertain knowledge or beliefs about parameters by probability distributions. We show how parameter distributions can be used to infer probabilistic statements about dynamic network properties, such as steady-state fluxes and concentrations, signal c...
