The Simplest Test of Inflation Target Credibility

Svensson, Lars E O - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994

A simple test of inflation target credibility is constructed by subtracting the maximum and minimum inflation rates consistent with the inflation targets from the yields to maturity on nominal bonds. This results in a target-consistent range of real yields on nominal bonds. If expected real...

Is Central Bank Transparency Desirable?

Sibert, Anne - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2006

I analyse central bank transparency when the central bank's objective function is its private information. Non-transparency exists when the public does not observe the action of the central bank and an unobservable component of the inflation-control error keeps the public from using its...

Monetary Policy With Uncertain Central Bank Preferences

Sibert, Anne - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

?This Paper considers monetary policy when the weight policy makers put on output loss relative to inflation is their private information. I show that in the first period of a two-period term, all policy makers but the least inflation averse inflate less – but respond more to shocks – than...

Should the Euro Area be Run as a Closed Economy?

Favero, Carlo A.; Giavazzi, Francesco - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008

The European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) has created a new economic area, larger and closer with respect to the rest of the world. Area-specific shocks are thus more important in EMU than country-specific shocks used to be in the previous states, e.g. in Germany. It is thus not surprising...

The bond yield conundrum: alternative hypotheses and the state of the economy

Eijffinger, Sylvester C W; Mahieu, Ronald J; Raes, Louis - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010

We study the bond yield conundrum in a macro-finance framework. Building upon a flexible and non-structural macro-finance model, we test the hypothesis that the bond yield conundrum is connected to various sources of uncertainty in the financial markets. Moreover we explicitly test for the role...

Monetary transmission in low income countries

Mishra, Prachi; Montiel, Peter J; Spilimbergo, Antonio - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010

This paper reviews the monetary transmission mechanism in low income countries (LICs). We use monetary transmission in advanced and emerging markets as a benchmark to identify aspects of the transmission mechanism that may operate differently in LICs. In particular, we focus on the effects of...
