We develop a monetary model with flexible supply of labor, cash in advance constraints and government spending financed by seignorage. This model has two regimes. One regime is conventional with two steady states. The other regime has a unique steady state which can be determinate or...

We analyze a monetary model with flexible labor supply, cash-inadvance constraints and seigniorage-financed government deficits. If the intertemporal elasticity of substitution of labor is greater than one, there are two steady states, one determinate and the other indeterminate. If the...

We consider the stability under adaptive learning of the complete set of solutions to the basic linear forward looking model in which the current value of the state variable depends linearly on the (subjectively) expected value of the state next period and the coefficient of the expected state...

We examine the nonlinear one-step forward-looking model, in which the current state is a function of the (subjective) expected value of a nonlinear function of the state next period. Stationary Markov Sunspot Equilibria (SSEs) are known to exist near an indeterminate steady state, i.e. when the...

We consider the stability under adaptive learning of the complete set of solutions to the model x(t)= b*Ex{t+1} when |b| 1. In addition to the fundamentals solution, the literature describes both finite-state Markov sunspot solutions and autoregressive solutions depending on an arbitrary...

Recent models of monetary policy have analysed the desirability of different optimal and ad hoc interest-rate rules under the restrictive assumption that forecasts of the private sector and central bank are homogeneous.In this paper, we study from a learning perspective the implications of...

We investigate both the rational explosive inflation paths studied by McCallum (2001) and the classification of fiscal and monetary policies proposed by Leeper (1991) for stability under learning of rational expectations equilibria (REE).Our first result is that the fiscalist REE in the model of...

We review the recent work on interest rate setting, which emphasizes the desirability of designing policy to ensure stability under private agent learning.Appropriately designed expectations based rules can yield optimal rational expectations equilibria that are both determinate and stable under...

Using New Keynesian models, we compare Friedman's k-percent money supply rule to optimal interest rate setting, with respect to determinacy, stability under learning and optimality.We first review the recent literature.Open-loop interest rate rules are subject to indeterminacy and instability...
