Determinacy and E-Stability with Interest Rate Rules at the Zero Lower Bound

نویسندگان

چکیده

We evaluate and compare alternative monetary policy rules, namely average inflation targeting, price level traditional targeting in a standard New Keynesian model that features recurring, transient zero lower bound regimes. use determinacy expectational stability (E-stability) of equilibrium as the criteria for stabilization policy. find policy, including nominal income special case, most effectively promotes E-stability among frameworks, whereas rules are prone to indeterminacy. Average can induce effectively, provided averaging window is sufficiently long.

Low Real Interest Rates and the Zero Lower Bound

How do low real interest rates constrain monetary policy? Is the zero lower bound optimal if the real interest rate is suffi ciently low? What is the role of forward guidance? A model is constructed that can incorporate sticky price frictions, collateral constraints, and conventional monetary distortions. The model has neo-Fisherian properties. Forward guidance in a liquidity trap works through...

Imperfect Credibility and the Zero Lower Bound on the Nominal Interest Rate

When the nominal interest rate reaches its zero lower bound, credibility is crucial for conducting forward guidance. We determine optimal policy in a New Keynesian model when the central bank has imperfect credibility and cannot set the nominal interest rate below zero. In our model, an announcement of a low interest rate for an extended period does not necessarily reflect high credibility. Eve...

The Zero Lower Bound

In the standard New Keynesian model, monetary policy is often described by an interest rate rule (e.g. a Taylor rule) that moves the interest rate in response to deviations of inflation and some measure of economic activity from target. Nominal interest rates are bound from below by 0 – since money is storable, one would never accept a negative nominal return. How does the behavior of the NK mo...

What does Monetary Policy do to Long-Term Interest Rates at the Zero Lower Bound?

The federal funds rate has been stuck at the zero bound for over two years and the Fed has turned to unconventional monetary policies, such as large scale asset purchases to provide stimulus to the economy. This paper uses a structural VAR with daily data to identify the e¤ects of monetary policy shocks on various longer-term interest rates during this period. The VAR is identi…ed using the ass...

Interest Rate Rules and Global Determinacy: An Alternative to the Taylor Principle

A most wellknown determinacy condition on interest rate rules is the “Taylor principle”, which says that nominal interest rates should respond more than hundred percent to inflation. Unfortunately, notably because interest rates must be positive, the Taylor principle cannot be satisfied for all interest rates, and as a consequence global determinacy may not prevail even though there exists a lo...
