The inflation targeting policy, which is adopted in a lot of countries in recent years, has been introduced with a band … target in most countries. However, in the many theoretical analysis, the target of the inflation rate is assumed to be a … few. In this paper, to treat the above-problem, we make the inflation band targeting model which is based on Barro and …

The purpose of this short paper is to show that inflation “band” targeting can solve the “time inconsistency” problem … that exists under inflation “point” targeting by setting a relevant target range. Moreover, we show that inflation band … natural levels, by setting the inflation rate within a target range and creating unexpected inflation. 2) It can mitigate …
