Non-coordinated monetary policy is analysed in a stochastic two-country general equilibrium model. Non-coordinated equilibria are compared in two cases: one where policy is set in terms of state-contingent money supply rules and one where policy is set in terms of state-contingent nominal...

This paper analyses the implications of cost-push shocks for the optimal choice of monetary policy target in an two-country sticky-price model.
