We study optimal monetary policy in a flexible state-dependent pricing framework, in which monopolistic competition and stochastic menu costs are the only distortions. We show analytically that it is optimal to commit to zero inflation in the long run. Moreover, our numerical simulations...

Estudiamos la política monetaria óptima desde una perspectiva atemporal en un modelo general de fijación de precios dependiente del estado (state-dependent pricing). Las empresas tienen poder monopolístico y están sujetas a perturbaciones idiosincráticas a sus costes de menú. Encontramos...

Estudiamos las implicaciones del cambio climático y las medidas de mitigación asociadas para la política monetaria óptima, utilizando un modelo neo-Keynesiano canónico con externalidades climáticas. Si están en su nivel socialmente óptimo, los impuestos al carbono no plantean ningún...

We study the implications of climate change and the associated mitigation measures for optimal monetary policy in a canonical New Keynesian model with climate externalities. Provided they are set at their socially optimal level, carbon taxes pose no trade-offs for monetary policy: it is both...
