This paper studies the challenge that increasing the inflation target poses to equilibrium determinacy in a medium-sized New Keynesian model without indexation fitted to the Great Moderation era. For moderate targets of the inflation rate, such as 2 or 4 percent, the probability of...

We study the properties of the optimal nominal interest rate policy under different levels of price indexation. In our model indexation regulates the sources of inflation persistence. When indexation is zero, the inflation gap is purely forward- looking and inflation persistence depends only on...

This note shows that full price indexation is not optimal in the long-run in the New Keynesian model. Moreover, we show that more price stickiness may increase steady state welfare, if price indexation is partial. -- Indexation ; Optimal Monetary Policy Rules ; New Keynesian model
