Bullard, James; Evans, George W.; Honkapohja, Seppo - 2005

We study how the use of judgement or “add-factors” in macroeconomic forecasting may disturb the set of equilibrium outcomes when agents learn using recursive methods. We isolate conditions under which new phenomena, which we call exuberance equilibria, can exist in standard macroeconomic...

Characterising the inflation targeting regime in South Korea

Sánchez, Marcelo - 2009

This paper attempts at characterising South Korean monetary policy in the period of explicit inflation targeting started in 1999. We explain Korean interest rates in relation to an estimated macro-model, assuming that monetary policy is set optimally. This allows us to obtain the central...

Optimal monetary policy in a new Keynesian model with habits in consumption

Leith, Campbell; Moldovan, Ioana; Rossi, Raffaele - 2009

While consumption habits have been utilised as a means of generating a hump shaped output response to monetary policy shocks in sticky-price New Keynesian economies, there is relatively little analysis of the impact of habits (particularly, external habits) on optimal policy. In this paper we...
