Determinacy of Equilibrium under Various Phillips Curves
نویسنده
چکیده
Determinacy of equilibrium under the original, the backward-looking, the forward-looking and the hybrid Phillips curves is examined. If the monetary authority keeps the nominal money stock to be constant, the equilibrium path is always determinate under the original Phillips curve and the forward-looking one. Under the backward-looking one and the hybrid one, however, the path can be non-existent. The case of a Taylor rule is also examined. Under any of the four curves the path is always determinate if the monetary policy is active but is never determinate if it is passive.

When Does Determinacy Imply Expectational Stability?
We study the connections between determinacy of rational expectations equilibrium, and expectational stability or learnability of that equilibrium, in a relatively general New Keynesian model. Adoption of policies that induce both determinacy and learnability of equilibrium has been considered fundamental to successful policy in the literature. We ask what types of economic assumptions drive di...
متن کاملCentral Bank Instruments, Fiscal Policy Regimes, and the Requirements for Equilibrium Determinacy
This paper examines the role of the monetary instrument choice for local equilibrium determinacy under sticky prices and different fiscal policy regimes. Corresponding to Benhabib et al.’s (2001) results for interest rate feedback rules, the money growth rate should not rise by more than one for one with inflation when the primary surplus is raised with public debt. Under an exogenous primary s...
متن کاملDeterminacy and Indeterminacy of Equilibria
This essay discusses work on the determinacy and indeterminacy of equilibrium in models of competitive markets. Determinacy typically refers to situations in which equilibria are finite in number, and local comparative statics can be precisely described. This essay describes basic results on generic determinacy for exchange economies and the general underlying principles, together with various ...
متن کاملExtending Finite Memory Determinacy to Multiplayer Games
We provide several techniques to extend finite memory determinacy from some restricted class of games played on a finite graph to a larger class. As a particular example, we study energy parity games. First we show that under some general conditions the finite memory determinacy of a class of two-player win/lose games played on finite graphs implies the existence of a Nash equilibrium built fro...
