According to our respondents, the Federal Reserve is the most credible, transparent and independent central bank out of seven large central banks. It advances a new view of the role of expectations that is still emerging from current macroeconomic reearch. (JEL E52, E58). The conventional wisdom asserts that this gradual adjustment reflects a policy inertia or interest rate smoothing behavior by central banks. In strict-est form, these models imply that government poli-cies, including monetary policy, have no effect on real output — the pohcv ineffectiveness proposition. Stable inflation expectations play a crucial role for the effectiveness of monetary policy. Therefore, our contribution is, first, to describe monetary policy as an information game in which interpretations matter and, second, to provide a way of solving for these interpretations. Suitable Interest Rate Structure, 6. The paper identifies four broad principles of CBA that have been shared by the majority of countries. History Dependent or, The Inflation Target 10 Years On, Speech delivered to the London School of Economics. Significant differences exist in the area of banking supervision where many central banks have retained a key role. What are the welfare effects of enhanced dissemination of public information through the media and disclosures by market participants with high public visibility? Over the period since 1994, private-sector long-run inflation forecasts for the United States and the euro area exhibit significant correlation with lagged inflation, whereas this correlation is largely absent for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, indicating that these five inflation targeters have been quite successful in delinking expectations from realized inflation. We then consider the implications of adding various real world complications. The model preserves the main transmission channels of monetary policy used in stochastic dynamic general equilibrium models– namely the consumption and the expectation channels, while allowing for agents’ heterogeneity in both expectations and behavior. 5. However, these approaches apply to special classes of games only and leave some subtle kinds of salience unexplained. Rules Rather Than Discretion: The Inconsistency of Optimal Plans. In our model, agents have to forecast inflation, and they do so using two "heuristics." Credibility is considered to be important to attain price stability at low cost, while the best ways to earn credibility are a history of honesty and a high level of central bank independence. expectations theory is also sometimes referred to as the “new classical” economics. Moreover, if demand conditions are expected to be high during the contract period, the terms of the bargain might be tilted in the worker's direction. The core requirements of the ITF are an explicit long-run inflation goal and a commitment to transparency in policymaking. The (reputation for) competence of a central bank at doing its job makes monetary policy under discretion credible and transparent. The ECB is not perceived as highly credible or tranparent, even though our respondents consider it to be very independent. A higher reserve means banks can lend less. Overall, the `Alter' system (the cross-section comparison with others) seems to be more relevant in valuing income than the `Ego' system (the longitudinal self-comparison of income). employment when supply shocks are large. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of any central bank communication strategy, it is important to know what private agents rely on when they form expectations. The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of different interest rate scenarios on the banks' interest income. The analyses make use of a simple VAR model of inflation, inflation expectations and the output gap that allows for an analysis of the dynamic interrelationship between these variables. The analysis provides evidence that (i) the Bundesbank was a flexible monetary targeter and (ii) that the proposed indicator variables contain information beyond that of standard macroeconomic variables used in monetary policy analysis. This procedure allows to directly capture a policy maker's assessments of macroeconomic variables that are relevant for its decision making process. Individual agents also know that inflation is ultimately affected both by central bank policies and by the average expectation formed by all agents. expectations will not rise, so the short -run AS curve will not shift further – If the credibility of the nominal anchor is weak, then inflation expectations will rise, so the short -run AS curve will shift further up and to the left, causing even higher inflation and lower output – … Keen Answers 1. King, M., 2002. Finally, we study the impact of introducing an explicit inflation target, which can be used by agents as a simple heuristic, into an economy that did not previously have one. We derive in detail the conditions under which this is true. We study the implications of uncertainty for inflation targeting. Put simply: What people believe plays a central role in how they react to policy. Such a rule is the result of a new algorithm that we put forward, in which the inflation target is state contingent. If the central banks both announce an autonomous tightening policy to reduce Agents switch between those heuristics based on an imperfect assessment of how each has performed in the past. It turns out that a sharp decrease in the steepness of the yield curve has the most negative impact on the banks' interest income. Variable Universe Games, in Frontiers of Game Theory, by Ken Binmore, Alan Kirman and Piero Tani, MIT Press, 255-275. Opportunistic and Deliberate Disinflation Under Imperfect Credibility, Journal of Money Credit and Banking, The Role of Expectations People's guesses about what will occur in the future seem to influence almost every aspect of the economy. Investigating the monetary policy of central banks with assessment indicators, Investigating the Monetary Policy of Central Banks with Assessment Indicators. Based on Morris and Shin's model, monetary policy then becomes an information game in which individuals form their expectations based on all the infor- mation that is available to them (public and private). The Central Bank sets therefore (as an auxiliary step), a variable inflation target that depends on both the degree of uncertainty as well as the shocks that occur each time. Fourth, in order to allow for long term analysis, the simulation results should preferably be stationary. Bomfin, A and G. Rudebusch, 2000. In order to overcome these limitations framed strategic forms together with a language invariance requirement on their solutions are proposed. Advocates and practitioners of the ITF have made many contributions to clear goal setting and communication by central banks. Here, we develop an example of a reputational equilibrium where the outcomes turn out to be weighted averages of those from discretion and those from the ideal rule. The paper focuses on satisfaction with income and proposes a utility model built on two value systems, the `Ego' system - described as one own income assessment relatively to one own past and future income - and the `Alter' system - described as one own income assessment relatively to a reference group. Indeed, we find that less activist policies would have been more effective at stabilizing {\it both} inflation and unemployment. R.J. Barro Rational expectations and the role of monetary policy 23 assumed superiority in the monetary authority's information set, the way that it works is somewhat subtle. We apply Bacharach's methodology to provide a framework for assessing everyone's interpretations. The results confirm strong improvements in both economic and political CBA over the past couple of decades, although more progress is needed to boost political autonomy of the central banks in emerging market and developing countries. We also characterize the gains from making a credible commitment to fight inflation. Counterfeit or genuine: can you tell the difference? Forecasting is a difficult but essential part of modern monetary policy. The Inflation Target 10 Years On, Speech delivered to the The Optimal Degree of Commitment to An Intermediate Monetary Target, The Danger of Inflating Expectations of Macroeconomic Stability: Heuristic Switching in an Overlapping-Generations Monetary Model, The Role of Expectations in the Inflation Process in the Euro Area, The Role of Policy Rules in Inflation Targeting, Is Inflation Targeting Best-Practice Monetary Policy, Monetary Policy and Policy Credibility: Theories and Evidence, Rules, Discretion and Reputation in A Model of Monetary Policy, The Science of Monetary Policy: A New Keynesian Perspective, Central Bank Transparency in Theory and Practice, Monetary Policy Games and the Role of Private Information, What Is Wrong with Taylor Rules? Quantitative assessment indicators that are extracted from a central bank's public statements via the balance statistic approach are employed to estimate a Taylor-type rule. Bacharach, M., 1993. But the result as monetary authorities become naturally more cautious at the same time monetary objectives are seldom achieved. The illusion of monetary policy inertia evident in the estimated policy rules likely reflects the persistent shocks that central banks face. Our analysis confirms that greater CBA has on average helped to maintain low inflation levels. The fineness of the equilibrium message space measures its credibility and transparency. First, they all use open market operations. In this paradigm, the central bank has an objective function that places weight on both inflation and output-gap stabilization and faces a conventional (exploitable) Phillips-curve trade-off. The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), which recommended holding repo rates or interest rates steady is largely in line with expectations say experts. Taylor, John B. But it also emphasizes that forward-looking expectations influence how these arrangements are set up and how they evolve over time. Targeting rules allow the use of judgment and extra-model information, are more robust and easier to verify than optimal instrument rules, but they can nevertheless bring the economy close to the socially optimal equilibrium. What does the Lucas critique say about the limitations of our current understanding of the ... a monetary policy announcement in country A than in country B where the central bank has no credibility. We describe the inflation targeting framework (ITF) and compare it against hypothetical best-practice based on optimization. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Number: C72. However, although always in favour of reaping the benefits of having committed, Central Banks worry about the fact that in real time, it is not always easy to assume that they are in such a position. One way in which interest rates appear to be playing a larger role in monetary policy is as informational indicators. The paper reviews the recent literature on monetary policy rules. The latter can to a large extent instead be seen as in#ation-forecast targeting, setting the instrument so that the corresponding conditional in#ation forecast is consistent with the in#ation target. The strategy is inverted relative to private sector pricing behavior: if private sector price setting is backward-looking, policy should be forward-looking, and vice versa. The only source of negative feedback in the NK model is the monetary policy rule: when the nominal interest rate reacts aggressively enough to inflation, i.e. It is argued, both from a descriptive and a prescriptive perspective, that in#ation targeting is better understoodasacommitmenttoatargeting rule,e itherageneral targeting rule in the form of clear objectives for monetary policy or a speci...c targeting rule in the form of a condition for (the forecasts of) the target variables, essentially the equality of the marginal rates of transformation and the marginal rates of substitution between the target variables. In a world characterised by noisy information and con‡icting signals, no Central Bank is always able to aect private sector expectations. such an agent head the central bank reduces the time-consistent rate of inflation, it suboptimally raises the variance of The precision of its private signal measures its competence. Movements in these proportions generate fluctuations in small-sample measures of economic volatility. First, as important inputs into price and wa ge setting, they provi de a summary statistic of where inflation is likely to be headed. Indeed, expectations about the path of future policy actions are the driving force in determining market interest rates. Inflation-targeting rules: History-dependent or forward-looking? He argues that the way in which a central bank seeks to influence public expectations is determined by its history and its structure. Recognising genuine euro notes proved slightly more challenging, but here technical aids provided useful services. Moreover, and as a corollary to such an approach, the rule derived is ex ante neutral to the degree of uncertainty, This paper calculates indices of central bank autonomy (CBA) for 163 central banks as of end-2003, and comparable indices for a subgroup of 68 central banks as of the end of the 1980s. Because the policymaker has the power to create inflation shocks ex post, the equilibrium growth rates of money and prices turn out to be higher than otherwise. Had monetary policy reacted less aggressively to perceived unemployment gaps, inflation expectations would have remained anchored and the stagflation of the 1970s would have been avoided. Recent aca- demic discussions of the role of monetary policy have been heavily influ- enced by the rational expectations approach to macroeconomics: it has been argued that, from the viewpoint of the behavior of output, any monetary policy rule strictly adhered to is as good as any other (e.g., Sargent and Wallace 1975, Barro 1976). Fifth, account has to be taken to possible structural breaks in the inflation and interest rate dynamics, if only to comply with maximum return assumptions of supervisors. This paper seeks to clarify the ways in which inflation targeting corresponds to a policy rule conceptually, and to assess the extent to which inflation targeters' policy can be described by policy rules in practice. The analysis also provides a new framework for choosing among alternative intermediate monetary targets. In collaboration with the TNO research institute, DNB has investigated how accurately cash handlers and consumers with no cash handler experience can distinguish counterfeit euro notes from genuine ones. Furthermore, we show that the null hypothesis of a random walk in core CPI inflation can be clearly rejected for four of these five countries, but not for either the U.S. or the euro area. This paper proposes a new approach to use qualitative information for investigating central banks' monetary policy strategy. Recent criticisms of this new view are reviewed, and examples are given to illustrate how quantitative methods that incorporate this view can be used in practice. Second, they may be used to assess the credibility of the central bank’s inflation objective. As for the determination of inflation expectations, it turns out that they are relatively persistent, almost as persistent as output. Third, as pension rights are usually indexed, the interaction between interest rates and inflation should be addressed. Based on the 1996 Lionel Robbins Lectures, this readable book deals succinctly, in a nontechnical manner, with a wide variety of issues in monetary policy. Using an envelope theorem, we show that the ideal agent places a large, but finite, We use a monetary overlapping-generations model to discuss the cause and durability of the marked fall in the volatility of inflation in recent decades. We conclude that there is no way control theory can be made applicable to economic planning when expectations are rational. Price Stability, 3. Credit Control, 4. "The Role of Expectations in the Choice of Monetary Policy." Even so, and especially in the medium term, inflation expectations adapt to developments in both output and (actual) inflation. To do that, we assume that private sector expectations are subject to differentiated information, thereby introducing inertia in the system. Opportunistic and Deliberate Disinflation Under Imperfect Credibility. As we do not know the interest rate sensitivity of real banks, we construct for each bank a portfolio with a similar composition of its assets and liabilities, called 'tracking bank'. One Decade of Inflation Targeting in the World: What Do We Know and What Do We Need to Know? In‡ation Targeting Rules: Forward-Looking?, Norwegian School of Management, Oslo, Leitemo, Kai, 2005, In‡ation Targeting Rules: Forward-Looking?, Norwegian School of Management, Oslo. Inflation expectations also have a significant negative impact on output. Issue Date December 1982. Numerous studies have used quarterly data to estimate monetary policy rules or reaction functions that appear to exhibit a very slow partial adjustment of the policy interest rate. Recent literature on monetary policy has emphasised the role of expectations and the merits of tying them down through credible commitment. We model monetary policy as an information game in which individuals form their expectations based on all the information that is available to them (public and private) and are, therefore, subject to the noise that characterizes that information. Finally, we provide some evidence concerning the initial effects of the adoption of IT in a number of emerging-market economies. Debt Management. In this framework, financial market expectations about future monetary policy play a central role. Among other things, we show that the optimal policy implicitly incorporates inflation targeting. Even if learning and heterogeneity would a priori lead to thinking favorably about transparency, we show that this virtuous circle is not robust, as transparency may expose the central bank to a risk of credibility loss. However, such quarterly monetary policy inertia would imply a large amount of forecastable variation in interest rates at horizons of more than 3 months, which is contradicted by evidence from the term structure of interest rates. We then tune the degree of heterogeneity in agents’ behavior and the individual learning process to introduce inflationary pressures, accompanied or not by uncertainty affecting the real transmission channel of monetary policy. They soon managed to bring their performance up to the level of experienced cash handlers.Â. In a world characterized by noisy information and conflicting signals, no central bank is able to affect private-sector expectations at all times. In contrast to conventional wisdom, we show that gains from commitment may emerge even if the central bank is not trying to inadvisedly push output above its natural level. The factors are the short term rate, expected inflation and stochastic risk aversion. Practice with the help of the CD-ROM turned out to benefit untrained consumers in particular. Decisions need to be taken then, under the assumption of predetermined expectations. Expectations and Fluctuations: The Role of Monetary Policy Michael Rousakis Max Weber Programme, European University Institute June 2013 Abstract This paper reconsiders the e ects of expectations on economic uctuations. The way the economy propagates productivity shocks into inflation depends on the proportion of agents using each heuristic. Marieke van der Hoeven (TNO Human Factors, In 2005, some 25,000 counterfeit euro banknotes were identified in the Netherlands, representing a fictitious amount of two million euro.

This paper reviews and contrasts different views about the role of expectations in policy research and practice. How transparent about its inflation target should a central bank be? This is increasing in the competence/inflation bias ratio: the public expects a competent central bank to use its discretion more to pursue its "objective" targets than to surprise expectations and stimulate output. 47-76. The Gover… Role of monetary policy in the economic development of a country are as follows: 1. Considering various suggestions that have been put forward for changes to the Bank of England's communications policy, he discusses the recent messages the Bank has been sending to the public. Relative deprivation is also found to be important for understanding the income-happiness nexus while we find income expectations to be less relevant once we control for absolute income. In this speech, Richard Lambert, member of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee, discusses the importance of good communications to modern central banks. Using Judgment in Monetary Policy Through Targeting Rules. The new view recognizes the importance of contractual arrangements which prevent a modern economy from adjusting instantaneously to policy changes, even if they are expected. Then, the chief roles assigned monetary policy were to promote price stability and to preserve the gold standard; the chief criteria of monetary policy were the state of the “money Therefore, enforced commitments (rules) for monetary behavior can improve matters. One is based on lagged inflation, the other on an inflation target announced by the central bank. led to improved performance and whether such aids as UV lights or IR cameras helped to identify notes correctly. This is also the essence of the monetary easing that the Bank of Japan is currently pursuing. Simple optimal targeting rules appear generally less informative than empirical instrument rules. Monetary policy can serve the following developmental requirements of developing economies: 1. For example, the Monetary Policy Statement released yesterday features an alternative scenario and discussion of the (distinct) possibility that the exchange rate might follow a different path, higher or lower, to that in our current central projection. We find absolute income to sit at the intersection between the `Ego' and the `Alter' systems and to play the most prominent role in explaining satisfaction with income. Rational expectations models have altered the way economists view the role of economic policY. This paper investigates the role that imperfect knowledge about the structure of the economy plays in the formation of expectations, macroeconomic dynamics, and the e cient formulation of monetary policy. The model is then tested using the Consortium of Household Panels for European Socio-economic Research (CHER), a collection of 19 panel surveys including over 1.2 m. individual observations.
