Robust Control Made Simple : Lecture
Some of the recent literature on robust control in economics (for instance, Giannoni [3], Hansen and Sargent [4] and [5], Onatski [6], Onatski and Stock [7], Sargent’s [10] comment on Ball, [1] and Stock’s [12] comment on Rudebusch and Svensson [9]) is somewhat technical and difficult to see through. This note attempts to use a simple example of optimal monetary policy to convey the gist of rob...
متن کاملMonetary Policy Reaction Functions in Iran: An Extended Kalman Filter Approach
Estimates of instrumental rules can be utilized to describe central bank's behavior and monetary policy stance. In the last decade, considerable attention has been given to time-varying parameter (TVP) specification of monetary policy rules. Constant-parameter reaction functions likely ignore the impact of model uncertainty, shifting preferences and nonlinearities of policymaker's choices. This...
متن کاملEfficient simple policy rules and the implications of uncertainty about potential output
Simple rules for guiding monetary policy actions have been shown to achieve policy objectives effectively. In many of these simple rules, policy prescriptions depend on the economy’s level of potential output. However, potential output is unobservable and is estimated with uncertainty. We examine the effects that this uncertainty has on the stabilisation properties of three classes of simple ef...
متن کاملRobust Discretionary Monetary Policy under Cost-Push Shock Uncertainty of Iran’s Economy
T here is always uncertainty about the soundness of an economic model’s structure and parameters. Therefore, central banks normally face with uncertainty about the key economic explanatory relationships. So, policymaker should take into account the uncertainty in formulating monetary policies. The present study is aimed to examine robust optimal monetary policy under uncertainty, by ...
