Price Level Determinacy and Monetary
This paper analyzes the implications of a balanced budget scal policy rule for the determi-nacy of the price level in a cash{in{advance economy under three alternative monetary policy regimes. It shows that in such stylized models with exible prices and a period{by{period balanced budget requirement the price level is determinate under a money growth rate peg and is indeterminate under a pure n...
متن کاملImperfect Credibility and the Zero Lower Bound on the Nominal Interest Rate
When the nominal interest rate reaches its zero lower bound, credibility is crucial for conducting forward guidance. We determine optimal policy in a New Keynesian model when the central bank has imperfect credibility and cannot set the nominal interest rate below zero. In our model, an announcement of a low interest rate for an extended period does not necessarily reflect high credibility. Eve...
متن کاملInterest rate rules, price determinacy and the value of money in a non-Ricardian world
This article studies under which conditions interest rate rules “à la Taylor (1993)” lead to price determinacy. We scrutinize notably two famous results, which are standard in the traditional “Ricardian” model with a single dynasty of consumers: (1) a pure interest rate peg leads to nominal price indeterminacy; (2) a strong reaction (usually more than one for one) of nominal interest rates to i...
متن کاملAn Interest Rate Model with Upper and Lower Bounds
We propose a new interest rate dynamics model where the interest rates fluctuate in a bounded region. The model is characterised by five parameters which are sufficiently flexible to reflect the prediction of the future interest rates distribution. The interest rate converges in law to a Beta distribution and has transition probabilities which are represented by a series of Jacobi polynomials. ...
متن کاملNber Working Paper Series Liquidity Traps: an Interest-rate-based Exit Strategy
This paper analyzes a potential strategy for escaping liquidity traps. The strategy is based on an augmented Taylor-type interest-rate feedback rule and differs from usual specifications in that when inflation falls below a threshold, the central bank temporarily deviates from the traditional Taylor rule by following a deterministic path for the nominal interest rate. This path reaches the inte...
