We study how changes in the steady-state real interest rate affect the optimal inflation target in a New Keynesian DSGE … model with trend inflation and a lower bound on the nominal interest rate. In this setup, a lower steady-state real interest … rate increases the probability of hitting the lower bound. That effect can be counteracted by an increase in the inflation …

We study how changes in the value of the steady-state real interest rate affect the optimal inflation target, both in …-for-one: increases in the optimal inflation rate are generally lower than declines in the steady state real interest rate. Our approach … allows us not only to assess the uncertainty surrounding the optimal inflation target, but also to determine the latter while …
