Interest Rate Pegs in New Keynesian Models∗
The conventional policy perspective is that lowering the interest rate increases output and inflation in the short run, while maintaining inflation at a higher level requires a higher interest rate in the long run. In contrast it has been argued that a Neo-Fisherian policy of setting an interest-rate peg at a fixed higher level will increase the inflation rate. We show that adaptive learning ar...
متن کاملImplementing Optimal Monetary Policy in New-Keynesian Models with Inertia
We consider optimal monetary policy in New Keynesian models with inertia. First order conditions, which we call the MJBalternative, are found to improve upon the timeless perspective. The MJB-alternative is shown to be the best possible in the sense that it minimizes policymakers’ unconditional expected loss, and further, it is numerically found to offer significant improvement over the timeles...
متن کاملMonetary policy regimes and inflation in the new-Keynesian model
This paper shows that plausible modifications to the Taylor rule for monetary policy can help explain several empirical anomalies to the behavior of inflation in the new-Keynesian general equilibrium model. The key anomalies considered are (1) the persistence of inflation, both in reduced form and after conditioning on inflation’s driving processes, (2) the positive correlation between the outp...
متن کاملOn the Optimal Inflation Rate
How do financial frictions affect the optimal inflation rate? Can financial frictions alone annul the long-run super-neutrality of money? Should the inflation rate be higher in emerging market economies with less developed financial markets than in advanced economies, as is currently observed? To answer these questions we set up an incomplete markets model in which households choose portfolios ...
متن کاملNew Keynesian Optimal-Policy Models: An Empirical Assessment
This paper estimates two optimization-based sticky-price New Keynesian models and assesses how well they describe US output, inflation, and interest rate dynamics. We consider models in which either internal habit formation or external habit formation influence consumption behavior, and in which Calvopricing and inflation indexation generate price and inflation inertia. Subject to constraints d...
