The promises (and perils) of control-contingent forward guidance
We develop a model with control-contingent forward guidance: the central bank explicitly anchors future policy announcements to short run inflation. Even though the model features past promises, we compute a closed form solution using a simple Markov chain representation. This allows us to show analytically that control-contingent forward guidance can rid the model of sunspot liquidity traps. The same holds for a policy of price level targeting, which emerges as a special case. Finally, we leverage this new framework to formally show that announced interest rates are only a means to an end: what truly matters is expected inflation.
期刊介绍:
Review of Economic Dynamics publishes meritorious original contributions to dynamic economics. The scope of the journal is intended to be broad and to reflect the view of the Society for Economic Dynamics that the field of economics is unified by the scientific approach to economics. We will publish contributions in any area of economics provided they meet the highest standards of scientific research.
