We derive fundamental new theory for measuring monetary service flows aggregated over countries within the European … aggregation over countries. Our theory permits monitoring the effects of policy at the aggregate level over the euro area, while …

This is a survey on the recent game theoretic literature on committee decision making. We consider theoretical work on the role of (i) strategic voting, (ii) costly information acquisition, (iii) conflicting interests, and (iv) communication in committees.

Monetary and fiscal interactions in open economies

Lombardo, Giovanni; Sutherland, Alan - 2003

A two-country sticky-price model is used to analyse the interactions between fiscal and monetary policy. The role of an u0091activistu0092 fiscal policy as a stabilisation tool is considered and a measure of the welfare gains from international fiscal policy cooperation is derived. It is found...

Inflation persistence and robust monetary policy design

Coenen, Günter - 2003

This paper investigates the performance of optimised interest rate rules when there is uncertainty about a key determinant of the monetary transmission mechanism, namely the degree of persistence characterising the inﬂation process. The paper focuses on the euro area and utilises two variants of...

Inflation targets and the liquidity trap

Klaeffling, Matt; Perez, Victor Lopez - 2003

The presence of a lower bound of zero on nominal interest rates has important implications for the conduct of optimal monetary policy. Standard rational expectations models can have alternative steady states as well as non-unique laws of motion, i.e. there can be possible sunspot equilibria....

Persistence, the transmission mechanism and robust monetary policy

Angeloni, Ignazio; Coenen, Günter; Smets, Frank - 2003

In this paper we first explore the impact of nominal and real persistence on the transmission process of various shocks in an estimated DSGE model of euro area. We then analyse its impact on optimal monetary policy and investigate the performance of various monetary policies when the policy...
