this paper studies the usefulness of the p-model in the analysis of the behaviour of prices in iranian economy. the p-model is based on the quantity of theory of money. this model believes that the price level tends to move towards the equilibrium price level. the model uses price gap to forecast inflation, if the equilibrium price is greater than the current price, there is a tendency for the ...

This paper focuses on long-run estimation of the price equation in the United States for the period of 1973Q1-2011Q3. It was found the Sargent and Wallace view that an easy monetary policy today will result in a lower price level over the long run when debt and deficit exist is true for the United Sates. Furthermore, it was found that, over the long run, a higher real exchange rate, government ...

I analyze monetary policy with interest on reserves and a large balance sheet. I show that conventional theories do not determine inflation in this regime, so I base the analysis on the fiscal theory of the price level. I find that monetary policy can peg the nominal rate, and determine expected inflation. With sticky prices, monetary policy can also affect real interest rates and output, thoug...

This note presents a stylized model of monetary and fiscal policies in which policy regime evolves randomly according to a Markov chain. This simple model is designed to illustrate that well-defined and unique equilibria can exist even in such an environment. It also shows that under certain assumptions about policy behavior, tax disturbances can generate wealth effects in line with the fiscal ...

Using a micro-founded model and a likelihood based inference method, we address three questions in this paper. First, what monetary and scal policy regimes characterized post-war U.S. data? Second, was equilibrium indeterminacy a feature of the economy before Paul Volcker's chairmanship at the Federal Reserve? Third, what were the effects of shifts in monetary and scal policy on the aggregate e...
