We examine forward guidance (with known and uncertain duration) in a New Keynesian model for an advanced small open economy, showing that the response of the economy to this policy depends, both quantitatively and qualitatively, on some structural features through calibrations for Sweden and...

This paper studies optimal robust monetary policy when the central bank imperfectly observes potential output and has Knightian uncertainty about the intertemporal elasticity of substitution and the slope of the Phillips curve. The literature on optimal robust monetary policy has focused on...

This paper studies how the interaction between the monetary policy regime and the degree of home bias in public consumption affects the exchange-rate response to fiscal shocks in dynamic open-economy models. Our analysis compares the classic Redux model of Obstfeld and Rogoff (1995) and a modern...

This paper studies how the interaction between the monetary policy regime and the degree of home bias in public consumption affects the exchange‐rate response to fiscal shocks in a generalized version of the Redux model of Obstfeld and Rogoff ([M. Obstfeld, 1995]). We show that the joint...

This paper revisits monetary-fiscal policy interactions when the policymaker has Knightian uncertainty about the exact position of the effective lower bound (ELB). We characterize optimal discretionary policy when a benevolent policymaker controls the nominal interest rate and the level of...

This paper studies robustly optimal monetary policy in a behavioral New Keynesian model, where the private sector has myopia, while the central bank has Knightian uncertainty about the degree of myopia of the private sector and the degree of price stickiness. In such a setup the central bank...

We discuss how to solve infinite-horizon optimal control problems with recursive preferences à la Hansen and Sargent (1995) when both backward and forward-looking variables enter into the law of motion regulating the system dynamics. With our analysis we establish: 1) under which conditions the...
