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...
