Crump, Richard K. - 2020

We estimate the elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS)—the response of expected consumption growth to changes …). This unique data set allows us to estimate the consumption Euler equation with no auxiliary assumptions on the properties … with the results of much of the literature. In addition, planned consumption displays excess sensitivity to expected income …

Chapter 15. Simple and Robust Rules for Monetary Policy

Taylor, John B.; Williams, John C. - In: Handbook of monetary economics : volume 3, (pp. 829-859). 2010

This paper focuses on simple normative rules for monetary policy that central banks can use to guide their interest rate decisions. Such rules were first derived from research on empirical monetary models with rational expectations and sticky prices built in the 1970s and 1980s. During the past...

Chapter 8. How Has the Monetary Transmission Mechanism Evolved Over Time?

Boivin, Jean; Kiley, Michael T.; Mishkin, Frederic S. - In: Handbook of monetary economics : volume 3, (pp. 369-422). 2010

We discuss the evolution in macroeconomic thought on the monetary policy transmission mechanism and present related empirical evidence. The core channels of policy transmission — the neoclassical links between short-term policy interest rates, other asset prices such as long-term interest...

Monetary Policy Frameworks and the Effective Lower Bound on Interest Rates

Mertens, Thomas M. - 2019

This paper applies a standard New Keynesian model to analyze the effects of monetary policy in the presence of a low natural rate of interest and a lower bound on interest rates. Under a standard inflation-targeting approach, inflation expectations will be anchored at a level below the inflation...

Tying Down the Anchor : Monetary Policy Rules and the Lower Bound on Interest Rates

Mertens, Thomas M. - 2019

This paper uses a standard New Keynesian model to analyze the effects and implementation of various monetary policy frameworks in the presence of a low natural rate of interest and a lower bound on interest rates. Under a standard inflation-targeting approach, inflation expectations will be...

What to Expect From the Lower Bound on Interest Rates : Evidence from Derivatives Prices

Mertens, Thomas M. - 2020

This paper analyzes the effects of the lower bound for interest rates on the distributions of inflation and interest rates. We study a stylized New Keynesian model where the policy instrument is subject to a lower bound to motivate the empirical analysis. Two equilibria emerge: In the “target...
