Monetary Policy and Stable Indeterminacy with Inertia∗

چکیده
We examine existence and stability under learning of sunspot equilibria in a New Keynesian model incorporating inertia. Indeterminacy remains prevalent, stable sunspots abound, and inertia in IS and AS relations do not significantly impact the policy region containing sta-

The Performance of Forecast-Based Monetary Policy Rules under Model Uncertainty∗ Andrew Levin Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
We investigate the performance of forecast-based monetary policy rules using five macroeconomic models that reflect a wide range of views on aggregate dynamics. We identify the key characteristics of rules that are robust to model uncertainty: such rules respond to the one-year-ahead inflation forecast and to the current output gap and incorporate a substantial degree of policy inertia. In cont...
متن کاملOptimal Interest-Rate Rules in a Forward-Looking Model, and Inflation Stabilization versus Price-Level Stabilization∗
This paper characterizes the properties of various interest-rate rules in a basic forwardlooking model. We compare simple Taylor rules and rules that respond to price-level fluctuations (called Wicksellian rules). We argue that by introducing an appropriate amount of history dependence in policy, Wicksellian rules perform better than optimal Taylor rules in terms of welfare, robustness to alter...
متن کاملThe Shilnikov Saddle-Node Bifurcation in a Monetary Policy with Endogenous Time Preference
We improve the analysis made in Chang et al (2011), by exploring the possibilities for the raise of global indeterminacy via a Shilnikov saddle-node bifurcation on an invariant circle. This allows us to better understand the determinants for the emergence of endogenous fluctuations in a monetary policy model, and to explain the existence of irregular patterns. Hence, the economy may start at so...
متن کاملMoney, Growth and Indeterminacy
In this article consumers need money to reduce their transaction costs. We highlight the existence of indeterminacy under a constant money growth within an endogenous growth framework. Real indeterminacy is avoided by an alternative monetary policy such as the interest pegging. The residual price indeterminacy is also ruled out if this monetary policy is completed by a non-Ricardian ...scal pol...
متن کاملKeynesian Inefficiency and Optimal Policy: A New Monetarist Approach
A simple model of monetary/labor search is constructed to study Keynesian indeterminacy and optimal policy. In the model, economic agents have trouble splitting the surplus from exchange appropriately, and we consider monetary and fiscal policies that correct this Keynesian inefficiency. A Taylor rule does not imply determinacy, nor does it support an efficient outcome. Optimal policies yield a...
