Liquidity Traps, Learning and Stagnation

Evans, George W.; Guse, Eran; Honkapohja, Seppo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

We examine global economic dynamics under learning in a New Keynesian model in which the interest-rate rule is subject to the zero lower bound. Under normal monetary and fiscal policy, the intended steady state is locally but not globally stable. Large pessimistic shocks to expectations can lead...

Liquidity Traps and Expectation Dynamics: Fiscal Stimulus or Fiscal Austerity?

Benhabib, Jess; Evans, George W.; Honkapohja, Seppo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

We examine global dynamics under infinite-horizon learning in New Keynesian models where the interest-rate rule is subject to the zero lower bound. As in Evans, Guse and Honkapohja (2008), the intended steady state is locally but not globally stable. Unstable deflationary paths emerge after...

Expectations, Deflation Traps and Macroeconomic Policy

Evans, George W.; Honkapohja, Seppo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009

We examine global economic dynamics under infinite-horizon learning in a New Keynesian model in which the interest-rate rule is subject to the zero lower bound. As in Evans, Guse and Honkapohja (2008), we find that under normal monetary and fiscal policy the intended steady state is locally but...

Expectations, Learning and Monetary Policy: An Overview of Recent Rersearch

Evans, George W.; Honkapohja, Seppo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008

Expectations about the future are central for determination of current macroeconomic outcomes and the formulation of monetary policy. Recent literature has explored ways for supplementing the benchmark of rational expectations with explicit models of expectations formation that rely on...

Targeting Nominal GDP or Prices: Guidance and Expectation Dynamics

Honkapohja, Seppo; Mitra, Kaushik - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2014

We examine global dynamics under infinite-horizon learning in New Keynesian models where monetary policy practices either price-level or nominal GDP targeting and compare these regimes to inflation targeting. These interest-rate rules are subject to the zero lower bound. Robustness of the three...

Comparing Inflation and Price Level Targeting: the Role of Forward Guidance and Transparency

Honkapohja, Seppo; Mitra, Kaushik - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015

We examine global dynamics under learning in New Keynesian models with price level targeting that is subject to the zero lower bound. The role of forward guidance is analyzed under transparency about the policy rule. Properties of transparent and non-transparent regimes are compared to each...

Freidman's Money Supply Rule versus Optimal Interest Rate Policy

Evans, George W.; Honkapohja, Seppo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003

Using New Keynesian models, we compare Friedman ’s k-percent money supply rule to optimal interest rate setting, with …

Are Non-Fundamental Equilibria Learnable in Models of Monetary Policy?

Honkapohja, Seppo; Mitra, Kaushik - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

Recent models of monetary policy can have indeterminacy of equilibria. The indeterminacy property is often viewed as a difficulty of these models. We consider its significance using the learning approach to expectations formation by employing expectational stability as a robustness criterion for...
