Increasing the inflation target in a textbook New Keynesian (NK) model may require increasing, rather than decreasing … rate and inflation conditional on a nominal shock as Neo-Fisherianism. We show that the NK model is more likely to be Neo …-Fisherian the more persistent is the change in the inflation target and the more flexible are prices. Neo-Fisherianism is driven by …

In models with complete markets, targeting core inflation enables monetary policy to maximize welfare by replicating … stabilize price movements in the flexible price sector. Also, in the presence of financial frictions, stabilizing core inflation … frictions a welfare-maximizing central bank should adopt flexible headline inflation targeting--a target based on headline …

inflation (with base drift in the price level) and price-level stability (without such base drift) are compared, and a suitable … loss function (corresponding to flexible inflation targeting) is discussed, including the index and level for the inflation … price stability. The benefits of credibility (private inflation expectations coinciding with the inflation target) are …

This paper examines what strategies policymakers have used to both reduce and control inflation. It first outlines why … a consensus has emerged that inflation needs to be controlled. Then it examines four basic strategies: exchange rate … pegging, monetary targeting, inflation targeting, and the just do it' strategy of preemptive monetary policy with no explicit …

Previous analysis of the implementation of inflation targeting is extended to monetary policy responses to different … stabilization or smoothing all call for a more gradual adjustment of the conditional inflation forecast toward the inflation target …. The conditional inflation forecast is the natural intermediate target during inflation targeting …

Inflation targeting is shown to imply inflation forecast targeting: the central bank's inflation forecast becomes an … explicit intermediate target. Inflation forecast targeting simplifies both implementation and monitoring of monetary policy …. The weight on output stabilization determines how quickly the inflation forecast is adjusted towards the inflation target …
