This chapter aims to provide a hands-on approach to New Keynesian models and their uses for macroeconomic policy analysis. It starts by reviewing the origins of the New Keynesian approach, the key model ingredients and representative models. Building blocks of current-generation dynamic...

In this paper we consider inflation and government debt dynamics when monetary policy employs a global interest rate rule and private agents' forecasts using adaptive learning.Because of the zero lower bound on interest rates, active interest rate rules are known to imply the existence of a...

In this paper we introduce an application of the supply-side channel for fiscal policy to the basic New Keynesian model.We use a proportional tax rate instead of lump sum tax and introduce the distortions of a tax wedge.We derive a closed economy forward-looking model with government consumption...
