Optimal Inflation Targeting Rules

This paper characterizes optimal monetary policy for a range of alternative economic models, applying the general theory developed in Giannoni and Woodford (2002a). The rules computed here have the advantage of being optimal regardless of the assumed character of exogenous additive disturbances, though other aspects of model specification do affect the form of the optimal rule. In each case, op...

Optimal Inflation Targeting: Further Developments of Inflation Targeting

Inflation targeting was first introduced in 1990, in New Zealand. Since then it has been adopted by more than twenty countries. This period of fifteen years has seen major progress in practical monetary policy. In particular, the practice of inflation targeting has led to a more systematic and consistent internal decision process (Brash, 2000; Sims, 2002; Svensson 2001a); much more transparent ...

This agreement is reflected both in the mandates set for monetary policy by governments and in the practice of central banks. Several other important questions about the objectives for monetary policy are less settled: Should there be other objectives? If there a...
