Optimal horizons for inflation targeting

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 ...

optimal monetary policy and inflation targeting

in this paper, by using dynamic stochastic general equilibrium, optimal monetary rule derived for central bank of iran. monetary transmission mechanism of the model includes four equations, aggregate demand, aggregate supply, oil price and taylor rule. we have proved that dynamic structure of aggregate demand relation, regarding monetary inflation in iran, is a function of money growth rate. wi...

selection of optimal monetary rule: what type of inflation targeting?

the purpose of the paper is to survey and discuss inflation targeting in framework of monetary policy rules. this study design an optimal economy model for iran which compare different cases of domestic and cpi inflation targeting, strict and flexible inflation targeting.in relation to this, the optimal monetary policy rule was designed using three constraints neo-keynesian phillips curve, aggr...
