Oil price shocks are the main source of macroeconomic fluctuations in oil exporting countries. It is believed that appropriate monetary policy can help to stabilize these unwanted variations toward optimal allocations. A stochastic dynamic general equilibrium model featuring the properties of both cost push and wealth effect transmission channels is developed for the Iranian economy. In thi...

Over the past decade, a number of countries have adopted an inflation-targeting framework for the conduct of monetary policy. The majority of these have been developed countries, although Chile and Israel have also pursued some form of inflation targeting for the best part of ten years. In part spurred on by the successful economic performance of the countries that have adopted inflation target...

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 ...

We argue that there are conditions such that any inflation targeting regime is preferable to full policy discretion, even if long-run inflation rates are identical across regimes. The key observation is that strict inflation targeting outperforms the discretionary policy response to sufficiently persistent shocks. Under full policy discretion, inflation expectations over the medium term respond...

Central banks in Asia and the Pacific have overwhelmingly chosen inflation as the principal objective of monetary policy. Some central banks have declared themselves to be inflation targeters, while others pursue their objective without referring to this particular label. Moreover, whether or not they refer to their strategy as inflation targeting, central banks in the region have chosen divers...

reputation of a monetary’s authority, is an agents believe on his to control of deviation between targeting inflation and observed inflation. on one hand , a monterey’s authority, can throw agent’s trust to his polices, leading to lower inflation expectations and inflation. but on the other hand, government pressure on the monetary authority to do discretionary monetary policy( such as creation...

Existing empirical evidence on the effect of inflation-targeting inflation volatility is, at best, mixed. However, comparing across alternative monetary policy regimes, i.e., pre- and post-inflation-targeting, begs question. The question is not whether has changed, but instead different than it otherwise would have been. Given this, our paper uses cosine-squared cepstrum to provide overwhelming...
