This paper presents a welfare analysis of a desirable Inflation Targeting Policy in order to achieve price … the components of a Inflation Targeting Policy, such as inflation targeting (IT), price level targeting (PLT), and hybrid … targeting (HT), as well as the modified inflation targeting (MIT), which aims at an optimal price level under an inflation …

Inflation targeting has become the most popular and widely discussed policy framework in the contemporary monetary … policy practice. The success of inflation targeting has been proved by a number of advanced and emerging countries and hence …. However, a country needs to fulfill several prerequisites to adopt inflation targeting in terms of institutional setup, legal …

While two strands of the literature suggest that PPI inflation, in addition to or instead of CPI inflation, should be a … temporary, the standard monetary policy rule that does not target the PPI inflation may have become increasingly problematic. …

In contrast, some commonly …-prescribed policy rules (such as strict price inflation targeting and Taylor's rule) perform very poorly in terms of social welfare …
