Fiscal Rules and Discretion under Persistent Shocks
This paper studies the optimal level of discretion in policymaking. We consider a fiscal policy model where the government has time-inconsistent preferences with a present-bias towards public spending. The government chooses a fiscal rule to trade off its desire to commit to not overspend against its desire to have flexibility to react to privately observed shocks to the value of spending. We a...

متن کاملNews Shocks and Optimal Simple Rules
This paper evaluates the performance of optimal simple policy rules in the presence of news shocks. It is shown that the inclusion of forward-looking elements enhances the performance of simple optimized interest rate rules when agents learn about future disturbances in advance. We provide a rationale for this result by demonstrating that, if shocks are news shocks, the optimal unrestricted con...
متن کاملSimple Monetary Rules Under Fiscal Dominance
This paper asks whether an aggressive monetary policy response to inflation is feasible in countries that suffer from fiscal dominance, as long as monetary policy also responds to fiscal variables. We find that if nominal interest rates are allowed to respond to government debt, even aggressive rules that satisfy the Taylor principle can produce unique equilibria. But following such rules resul...
متن کاملIncomplete Markets, Idiosyncratic Shocks and Optimal Monetary Policy
A widespread result in monetary policy literature is that the price level should be stabilized and, as corollary, the nominal interest rate should vary with the Wicksellian determinants of the real interest rate. The present paper studies how this result is altered when the representative agent assumption is abandoned and financial wealth heterogeneity across households is introduced. I derive ...
