Pollan, Wolfgang - 2013
last three decades. Are lagged dependent variables - traditionally interpreted as proxies for inflation expectations - just … expectations in the inflation process; if indeed inflation is a global phenomenon, the task of controlling inflation expectations … inflation expectations. Are the actions of central banks nothing more than a sideshow? …

Endogenous Indexing and Monetary Policy Models
Mash, Richard - 2007
Models in which firms use a rule of thumb or partial indexing in price setting are prominent in the recent monetary policy literature. The extent to which these firms adjust their prices to lagged inflation has been taken as fixed. We consider the implications of firms choosing the optimal...

Money in monetary policy design under uncertainty: the Two-Pillar Phillips Curve versus ECB-style cross-checking
Beck, Günter W.; Wieland, Volker - 2007
The European Central Bank has assigned a special role to money in its two pillar strategy and has received much criticism for this decision. In this paper, we explore possible justifications. The case against including money in the central bank's interest rate rule is based on a standard model...

Money in monetary policy design under uncertainty: A formal characterization of ECB-style cross-checking
Beck, Günter W.; Wieland, Volker - 2006
The European Central Bank has assigned a special role to money in its two pillar strategy and has received much criticism for this decision. The case against including money in the central bank's interest rate rule is based on a standard model of the monetary transmission process that underlies...

How Important is Money in the Conduct of Monetary Policy?
Woodford, Michael - 2006
This paper was presented as the 2006 W.A. Mackintosh Lecture at Queen's University. I consider some of the leading arguments for assigning an important role to tracking the growth of monetary aggregates when making decisions about monetary policy. First, I consider whether ignoring money means...

The European Phillips curve: does the NAIRU exist?
Karanassou, Marika; Sala, Héctor; Snower, Dennis J. - 2003
This paper has two aims. First, it provides simple theoretical models that highlight two channels whereby monetary shocks have permanent real effects and the interactions between these channels. Second, it presents an empirical dynamic model, covering a panel of EU countries, and derives the...

Hyperbolic discounting and the Phillips curve
Graham, Liam; Snower, Dennis J. - 2007
Using a standard dynamic general equilibrium model, we show that the interaction of staggered nominal contracts with hyperbolic discounting leads to inflation having significant long-run effects on real variables.

Hyperbolic discounting and positive optimal inflation
Graham, Liam; Snower, Dennis J. - 2011
The Friedman rule states that steady-state welfare is maximized when there is deflation at the real rate of interest. Recent work by Khan et al (2003) uses a richer model but still finds deflation optimal. In an otherwise standard new Keynesian model we show that, if households have hyperbolic...
