Does inflation targeting anchor long-run inflation expectations? evidence from long-term bond yields in the U.S., U.K., and Sweden
Gürkaynak, Refet S.; Levin, Andrew T.; Swanson, Eric T. - Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco - 2006
We investigate the extent to which inflation targeting helps anchor long-run inflation expectations by comparing the behavior of daily bond yield data in the United Kingdom and Sweden--both inflation targeters--to that in the United States, a non-inflation-targeter. Using the difference between...

Optimal monetary policy with distinct core and headline inflation rates
Bodenstein, Martin; Erceg, Christopher J.; Guerrieri, Luca - Federal Reserve Board (Board of Governors of the … - 2008
In a stylized DSGE model with an energy sector, the optimal policy response to an adverse energy supply shock implies a rise in core inflation, a larger rise in headline inflation, and a decline in wage inflation. The optimal policy is well-approximated by policies that stabilize the output gap,...
