Optimal Monetary Policy Regime Switches∗
Given structural shifts in the economy, optimal simple monetary policy rules may respond with switches in their policy parameters. When the growth rate, inter-temporal preferences, or volatilities switch, the monetary authority chooses regime-dependent policy parameters to maximize welfare. These optimized policy parameters may differ across regimes and from the optimal choice of parameters for...
متن کاملTime-varying Policy Targets and Regime Switches in U.S. Monetary Policy
The central bank’s monetary policy targets are usually assumed to be constant overtime for simplicity when estimating a Taylor rule, but recent studies have shed some light on the time variation in policy targets, especially in the inflation target. The potential bias due to misspecification of the time variation can be quite considerable, especially in regime-swtiching models. In this paper, w...
متن کاملMonetary regime-switches and central bank preferences
Monetary policy objectives and targets are not necessarily constant over time. The regime-switching literature has typically analyzed and interpreted changes in policymakers’ behavior through simple interest rate rules. This paper analyzes policy regime-switches by explicitly modeling policymakers’ behavior and objectives. We show that changes in the parameters of simple rules do not necessaril...
متن کاملRegime-switching monetary policy in Canada
This study captures regime-switching, monetary policy responses to financial market disturbances in Canada. Monetary policy is identified within a nonlinear, structural VAR framework with a regime-switching policy block that allows for contemporaneous policy reactions in a small open economy. The key finding is that monetary policy in Canada has undergone important changes in monetary policy re...
متن کاملWere Hayek’s Monetary Policy Recommendations Inconsistent?
Contrary to the claims that Hayek’s views on monetary policy were inconsistent, we show that Hayek was never an advocate of any particular monetary policy. In particular, we reject the view that early Hayek was a money stream stabilizer, while late Hayek was a price level stabilizer. We argue that Hayek was always aware that each practical monetary policy involves difficult trade-offs and was t...
