the role of long-run and short-run price stickiness under discretion and commitment in a straightforward and intuitive way …. Despite the impact of price rigidity on welfare being non-linear, losses under discretion are lowest with perfectly flexible … when a commitment to hold nominal rates at zero for an extended period is optimal.

Gürkaynak, Refet S. - 2015
We present an accessible narrative of the Turkish economy since its great 2001 crisis. We broadly survey economic developments and pay particular attention to monetary policy. The data suggests that the Central Bank of Turkey was a strong inflation targeter early in this period but began to pay...

Given buoyant capital inflows and managed exchange rates the majority of emerging market central banks have continued to accumulate massive foreign reserves. If left unsterilized, the liquidity expansion can threaten domestic macroeconomic stability. To contain domestic inflation these central...

Structural Distortions and Decentralized Fiscal Policies in EMU
Beetsma, Roel; Bovenberg, Lans - CESifo - 2001
The combination of discretionary monetary policy, labor-market distortions and nominal wage rigidity yields an inflation bias as monetary policy tries to exploit nominal wage contracts to address labour-market distortions Although an inflation target eliminates this inflation bias, it creates a...

Uhlig, Harald - 2013
This paper seeks to understand the interplay between banks, bank regulation, sovereign default risk and central bank guarantees in a monetary union. I assume that banks can use sovereign bonds for repurchase agreements with a common central bank, and that their sovereign partially backs up any...

The Role of Fiscal Policy in a Monetary Union : Are National Automatic Stabilizers Effective?
Colciago, Andrea; Muscatelli, Anton; Ropele, Tiziano; … - 2021
We assess the role of national fiscal policies, as automatic stabilizers, within a monetary union. We use a two-country New Keynesian DGE model which incorporates non-Ricardian consumers (as in Gali et al. 2004) and a home bias in the composition of national consumption bundles. We find that...

Fiscal Multipliers and the Choice of Zero Lower Bound Modeling
Siemsen, Thomas - 2013
In this note we elaborate on the effect of the modeling choice of the zero lower bound on the size of the fiscal multiplier. To this end we contrast two different ways to implement the ZLB in a New Keynesian model: the ZLB modeled as an endogenous central bank reaction to a contractionary demand...
