This paper studies how the interaction between the monetary policy regime and the degree of home bias in public consumption affects the exchange-rate response to fiscal shocks in dynamic open-economy models. Our analysis compares the classic Redux model of Obstfeld and Rogoff (1995) and a modern...

What is the welfare loss arising from uncertainty about true policy targets? We quantify these effects in a DSGE model where private agents are unable to distinguish between temporary shocks to potential output and to the inflation target. Agents use optimal filtering techniques to construct...

This paper studies how the interaction between the monetary policy regime and the degree of home bias in public consumption affects the exchange‐rate response to fiscal shocks in a generalized version of the Redux model of Obstfeld and Rogoff ([M. Obstfeld, 1995]). We show that the joint...

This paper revisits monetary-fiscal policy interactions when the policymaker has Knightian uncertainty about the exact position of the effective lower bound (ELB). We characterize optimal discretionary policy when a benevolent policymaker controls the nominal interest rate and the level of...

This paper studies robustly optimal monetary policy in a behavioral New Keynesian model, where the private sector has myopia, while the central bank has Knightian uncertainty about the degree of myopia of the private sector and the degree of price stickiness. In such a setup the central bank...
