In this paper we systematically evaluate how central banks respond to deviations from the inflation target. We present … a stylized New Keynesian model in which agents' inflation expectations are sensitive to deviations from the inflation … inflation exceeded the target in the past. Moreover, the central bank responds non-linearly to past inflation gaps. This is …
