The Optimal Inflation Rate with Discount Factor Heterogeneity

چکیده

I show that adding an overlapping generations structure to the canonical New Keynesian model can generate optimal inflation rate is significantly positive. In a baseline calibration of model, target comprised between 0.8% and 3.2% in annual terms. this framework, deviations from long-run price stability are because at which firms discount future profit flows naturally differs planner discounts utility flows.

On the Optimal Inflation Rate

How do financial frictions affect the optimal inflation rate? Can financial frictions alone annul the long-run super-neutrality of money? Should the inflation rate be higher in emerging market economies with less developed financial markets than in advanced economies, as is currently observed? To answer these questions we set up an incomplete markets model in which households choose portfolios ...

The Optimal Rate Of Inflation∗

Observed inflation targets around the industrial world are concentrated at two percent per year. This chapter investigates the extent to which the observed magnitudes of inflation targets are consistent with the optimal rate of inflation predicted by leading theories of monetary nonneutrality. We find that consistently those theories imply that the optimal rate of inflation ranges from minus th...

How Important Is Discount Rate Heterogeneity for Wealth Inequality?

This paper investigates the role of discount rate heterogeneity for wealth inequality. The key idea is to infer the distribution of preference parameters from the observed age pro…le of wealth inequality. The contribution of preference heterogeneity to wealth inequality can then be measured using a quantitative life-cycle model. I …nd that discount rate heterogeneity increases the Gini coe¢ cie...

Stochastic Optimal Growth When the Discount Rate Vanishes

It has been shown that long-run optimality of the limit of discounted optima when the discount rate vanishes is implied by a condition on the value function of the optimal program. We suggest a new method to verify this condition in the context of one-sector optimal growth. The idea should be more widely applicable.
