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

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 determinacy...

Working with a small-scale calibrated New-Keynesian model, Coibion and Gorodnichenko (2011) find that the reduction in trend inflation during Volcker's mandate was a key factor behind the Great Moderation. We revisit this finding with an estimated New-Keynesian model with trend inflation and no...
