Oil Shocks and the Zero Bound on Nominal Interest Rates
Beginning in 2009, in many advanced economies, policy rates reached their zero lower bound (ZLB). Almost at the same time, oil prices started rising again. We analyze how the ZLB affects the propagation of oil shocks. As these shocks move inflation and output in opposite directions, their effects on economic activity are cushioned when monetary policy is constrained. The burst of inflation from...
متن کاملImperfect 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...

What are the economic effects of a large increase in real balances of money on the economy when the nominal interest is zero? This paper considers this question using a computable overlapping generations model. In this model increases in money supply that increase the overall stock of government debt have real effects. Results from a dynamic simulation analysis indicate that monetary policies s...
متن کاملUnconventional Fiscal Policy at the Zero Bound

There is no need to use ine¢ cient policies such as wasteful public spending or future commitments to inate. We conclude that in the New Keynesian model,...
