This paper studies the optimal long-run inflation rate in a labor search and matching framework in the presence of … downward nominal wage rigidity. Optimal monetary policy features positive inflation in the long run; the optimal annual long …-run inflation rate for the U.S. economy is slightly below 1 percent with a money demand motive and around 2 percent otherwise …

This paper makes changes in monetary policy rules (or regimes) endogenous. Changes are triggered when certain endogenous variables cross specified thresholds. Rational expectations equilibria are examined in three models of threshold switching to illustrate that (i) expectations formation...

Since then, the ECB's policy can be characterised as symmetric, and we quantify the … bound and a low neutral real rate, and find that it prescribes a stronger response to inflation and the output gap when …
