This paper studies optimal monetary policy with the nominal interest rate as the single policy instrument in an economy,where firms set prices in a staggered way without indexation and real money balances contribute separately to households'utility. The optimal deterministic steady state under...

This paper examines how money demand induced real balance effects contribute to the determination of the price level, as suggested by Patinkin (1949,1965), and if they affect conditions for local equilibrium uniqueness and stability. There exists a unique price level sequence that is consistent...

This paper examines whether the existence and the timing of real balance effects contribute to the determination of the absolute price level, as suggested by Patinkin (1949,1965), and if they affect conditions for local equilibrium uniqueness and stability. I show that there exists a unique...
