We study an economy without bubbles in which expectations about future discount rates can become self-fulfilling because asset valuations redistribute wealth across different investor cohorts. For such redistribution to take place, the wealth of arriving and existing cohorts must react...

This paper analyses optimal monetary policy and welfare implications of three endogenous processes in forming inflation … forecast rules; the third process is a Bayesian learning about the central bank's inflation target. Transitional dynamics …

We study zero interest-rate policy in response to a large negative demand shock when long-run expectations can fall over time. Because falling expectations make monetary policy less effective by raising real interest rates, the optimal forward guidance policy makes large front-loaded promises to...

This paper analyzes monetary policy in a model with a potential unanchoring of inflation expectations. The degree of … unanchoring is given by how sensitively the public's long-run inflation expectations respond to inflation surprises. I find that … inflation fluctuations when expectations are well-anchored. Furthermore, I estimate the model-implied relationship that …

This paper considers the implications of an important source of model misspecification for the design of monetary policy rules: the assumed manner of expectations formation. Following a considerable literature on learning, it is assumed that private agents seek to maximize their objectives...

The design of interest rate rules for conducting monetary policy have recently been examined for two key concerns. The first issue is determinacy of equilibria. Indeterminacy (multiplicity of stationary rational expectations equilibria) is a concern in models of monopolistic competition and...
