Robust monetary rules under unstructured and structured model uncertainty

Levine, Paul (contributor); Pearlman, Joseph (contributor) - 2008

This paper compares two contrasting approaches to robust monetary policy design. The first developed by Hansen and Sargent (2003, 2007) assumes unstructured model uncertainty and uses a minimax robustness criterion to design monetary rules. This contrasts with an older literature that structures...

Inflation forecast-based-rules and indeterminacy : a puzzle and a resolution

Levine, Paul (contributor); McAdam, Peter (contributor); … - 2006

We examine an interesting puzzle in monetary economics between what monetary authorities claim (namely to be forward-looking and pre-emptive) and the poor stabilization properties routinely reported for forecast-based rules. Our resolution is that central banks should be viewed as following...

Quantifying and sustaining welfare gains from monetary commitment

Levine, Paul (contributor); McAdam, Peter (contributor); … - 2007

The objectives of this paper are : first, to quantify the stabilization welfare gains from commitment; second, to examine how commitment to an optimal rule can be sustained as an equilibrium and third, to find a simple interest rate rule that closely approximates the optimal commitment one. We...

Risk Management in action : robust monetary policy rules under structured uncertainty

Levine, Paul; McAdam, Peter; Pearlman, Joseph; Pierse, … - 2008

Recent interest in "Risk Management"has highlighted the relevance of Bayesian analysis for robust monetary-policy making. This paper sets out a comprehensive methodology for designing policy rules inspired by such considerations. We design rules that are robust with respect to model uncertainty...

Near-rational exuberance

Bullard, James Brian (contributor); … - 2005

We study how the use of judgement or add-factorsʺ 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...
