How do private agents interpret central bank actions and communication? To what extent do the effects of monetary shocks depend on the information disclosed by the central bank? This paper investigates the effect of monetary shocks and shocks to the Bank of England's inflation and output...

effect of surprise inflation on aggregate demand. We derive the optimal policy under active learning and compare it to two … limiting cases-certainty equivalence policy and cautionary policy, in which learning takes place passively. Our novel result is … that the two passive learning policies represent an upper and lower bound for the active learning policy, irrespective of …

Highly volatile transition dynamics can emerge when a central bank disinflates while operating without full transparency. In our model, a central bank commits to a Taylor rule whose form is known but whose coefficient are not. Private agents learn about policy parameters via Bayesian updating....

This paper argues that central bankers should temporarily raise inflation when anticipating liquidity traps to signal their credibility to forward guidance policies. As stable inflation in normal times either stems from central banker's credibility, e.g. through reputation, or from his aversion...

We study optimal monetary policy during temporary supply contractions when aggregate demand has inertia and expansionary policy is constrained. In this environment, it is optimal to run the economy hot until supply recovers. Positive output gaps in the low-supply phase lessen the negative output...

We consider what, if any, relationship there is between monetary aggregates and inflation, and whether there is any substantial reason for modifying the current mainstream mode of policy analysis, which frequently does not consider monetary aggregates at all. We begin by considering the body of...

What are the real and nominal implications of a green transition to a state with sustainable energy production, and how should monetary policy react during such transition? Using a New-Keynesian model with an energy and a goods sector, we show that a green transition requires the relative price...
