Price-level targeting versus inflation targeting over the long-term
This paper investigates the long-term impact of price-level targeting on social welfare in an overlapping generations model in which the young save for old age by investing in productive capital and indexed and nominal government bonds. A key feature of the model is that the extent of bond indexation is determined endogenously in response to monetary policy as part of an optimal commitment Rams...
متن کاملPrice-Level versus Inflation Targeting in a Small Open Economy
This paper compares two types of monetary policy: price-level targeting and inflation targeting. It reviews recent arguments that favour price-level targeting, and examines how certain factors, such as the nature of the shocks affecting the economy and the degree to which agents are forwardlooking, bear upon the arguments. The paper then extends the analysis to a small open economy such as Cana...
متن کامل(Post) Keynesian alternative to inflation targeting
While the mainstream policies can not be surpassed in the enchanted ‘optimizable’ world, (Post) Keynesians have to resign themselves to manage without magic wand in the uncertain real world. The paper discusses the monetary rules proposed in the recent Post Keynesian literature. It argues that the long-term interest rate is too imperfectly controlled for such rules being feasible. Consequently,...
متن کاملAsymmetric Behavior of Inflation in Iran: New Evidence on Inflation Persistence Using a Smooth Transition Model
T his paper investigates the asymmetric behavior of inflation. We use logistic smooth transition autoregressive (LSTAR) model to characterize the regime-switching behavior of Iran’s monthly inflation during the period May 1990 to December 2013. We find that there is a triple relationship between the inflation level, its fluctuations and persistence. The findings imply that the behavi...
متن کاملInflation Targeting and Regional Inflation Persistence: Evidence from Korea
The adoption of a credible monetary policy regime such as inflation targeting is known to reduce the persistence of inflation fluctuations. This conclusion, however, is derived from aggregate inflation or sectoral inflation rates, not from regional inflation data. This paper studies the regional dimension of inflation targeting, i.e. the consequences of inflation targeting for regional inflatio...
