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.

متن کاملSequential Investment and Time to Build
Real world investment decisions are generally made sequentially over time. The possibility of subsequent decisions like suspending a project must be considered when an initial investment decision is made. This seems to be particularly important in the case of investments, which take a long 'time to build'. This paper analyzes the impact of lags between the initial investment decision and the co...

The main finding is that implementation lag can potentially have a substantial effect on a levered company’s investment trigger, and this effect can be significantly different from that of an unlevered company. The exact relationship between lag and investment t...
متن کاملThe Zero Lower Bound and the Dual Mandate
This article uses a DSGE framework to evaluate the role of monetary policy in determining the likelihood of encountering the zero lower bound. We find that the probability of experiencing episodes of being at zero lower bound depends almost exclusively on the monetary policy rule. A policy rule, such as the one proposed by Taylor (1993) which is based on the dual mandate is highly likely to lea...
