Modest Policy Interventions

Leeper, Eric M. - 2002

We present a framework for computing and evaluating linear projections of macro variables conditional on hypothetical paths of monetary policy. A modest policy intervention is a change in policy that does not significantly shift agents' beliefs about policy regime and does not generate...

Surplus-Debt Regressions

Leeper, Eric M. - 2016

Single-equation estimates of fiscal reaction functions, which relate primary surpluses to past debt-GDP ratios and control variables, are subject to potentially serious simultaneity bias that can produce misleading inferences about fiscal behavior. Biases arise from failure to model the general...

Optimal Time-Consistent Monetary, Fiscal and Debt Maturity Policy

The textbook optimal policy response to an increase in government debt is simple--monetary policy should actively target inflation, and fiscal policy should smooth taxes while ensuring debt sustainability. Such policy prescriptions presuppose an ability to commit. Without that ability, the...

Farmer, Waggoner, and Zha (2009) show that a new Keynesian model with a regime-switching monetary policy rule can support multiple solutions that depend only on the fundamental shocks in the model. Their note appears to find solutions in regions of the parameter space where there should be no...

Endogenous Monetary Policy Regime Change

Davig, Troy - 2006

This paper makes changes in monetary policy rules (or regimes) endogenous. Changes are triggered when certain endogenous variables cross specified thresholds. Rational expectations equilibria are examined in three models of threshold switching to illustrate that (i) expectations formation...

Generalizing the Taylor Principle

Davig, Troy - 2005

The paper generalizes the Taylor principle---the proposition that central banks can stabilize the macroeconomy by raising their interest rate instrument more than one-for-one in response to higher inflation---to an environment in which reaction coefficients in the monetary policy rule evolve...

Monetary-Fiscal Policy Interactions and the Price Level : Background and Beyond

Leeper, Eric M. - 2005

The paper presents the fiscal theory of the price level in a variety of models, including endowment economies with lump …-sum taxes and production economies with proportional income taxes. We offer a microeconomic perspective on the fiscal theory by … level. Under certain assumptions on monetary and fiscal behavior, the revaluation effect reflects the fiscal theory …
