The Zero Lower Bound
In the standard New Keynesian model, monetary policy is often described by an interest rate rule (e.g. a Taylor rule) that moves the interest rate in response to deviations of inflation and some measure of economic activity from target. Nominal interest rates are bound from below by 0 – since money is storable, one would never accept a negative nominal return. How does the behavior of the NK mo...
متن کاملThe Zero Lower Bound and the Dual Mandate
This article uses a DSGE framework to evaluate the role of monetary policy in determining the likelihood of encountering the zero lower bound. We find that the probability of experiencing episodes of being at zero lower bound depends almost exclusively on the monetary policy rule. A policy rule, such as the one proposed by Taylor (1993) which is based on the dual mandate is highly likely to lea...
متن کاملThe Routes into and out of the Zero Lower Bound
The United States and most other advanced countries are closing on five years of flat-out expansionary monetary policy that has failed in all cases to restore normal conditions of employment and output. These countries have been in liquidity traps, where monetary policies that normally expand the economy by enlarging the monetary base are ineffectual. Reserves have become near-perfect substitut...
متن کاملOil Shocks and the Zero Bound on Nominal Interest Rates
Beginning in 2009, in many advanced economies, policy rates reached their zero lower bound (ZLB). Almost at the same time, oil prices started rising again. We analyze how the ZLB affects the propagation of oil shocks. As these shocks move inflation and output in opposite directions, their effects on economic activity are cushioned when monetary policy is constrained. The burst of inflation from...
متن کاملLow Real Interest Rates and the Zero Lower Bound
How do low real interest rates constrain monetary policy? Is the zero lower bound optimal if the real interest rate is suffi ciently low? What is the role of forward guidance? A model is constructed that can incorporate sticky price frictions, collateral constraints, and conventional monetary distortions. The model has neo-Fisherian properties. Forward guidance in a liquidity trap works through...
