This paper provides a comparison of monetary policy rules with make-up and/or asymmetric elements for a heterogeneous agent New Keynesian (HANK) model. The model features incomplete financial markets, nominal price and wage rigidities, rational expectations, an occasionally binding effective...

We compare the stabilisation properties of history-dependent and asymmetric interest rate rules, taking into account the constraint posed by the effective lower bound on nominal interest rates. Specifically, we use a medium-scale Two-Agent New Keynesian (TANK) model that was estimated on euro...

Optimal policy projections (OPPs) offer a flexible way to derive scenario-based policy recommendations. This note describes how to calculate OPPs for a simple textbook New Keynesian model and provides illustrations for various examples. It also demonstrates the versatility of the approach by...
