The power of helicopter money revisited: A new Keynesian perspective
Carter, Thomas J.; Mendes, Rhys R. - 2020
We analyze money financing of fiscal transfers (helicopter money) in two simple New Keynesian models: a "textbook" model in which all money is non-interest-bearing (e.g., all money is currency), and a more realistic model with interest-bearing reserves. In the textbook model with only...

Downward nominal wage rigidity meets the zero lower bound
Amano, Robert A.; Gnocchi, Stefano - 2017
We add downward nominal wage rigidity to a standard New Keynesian model with sticky prices and wages, where the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates is allowed to bind. We find that wage rigidity not only reduces the frequency of zero bound episodes but also mitigates the severity of...

Limited commitment, endogenous credibility and the challenges of price-level targeting
Cateau, Gino; Shukayev, Malik - 2018
central bank with such discretion undermines the credibility of the price-level target and weakens its effectiveness to … stabilize the economy through expectations. The endogenous nature of credibility also brings novel results relative to models … with exogenous timing of target resets.
