There is always a locally-unique target equilibrium. There may also be below-target equilibria (BTE) with inflation always below target and...

We propose a new interest rate rule that implements the optimal equilibrium and eliminates all indeterminacy in a canonical New Keynesian model in which the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates (ZLB) is binding. The rule commits to zero nominal interest rates for a length of time that...
