We study how determinacy and expectational stability (E-stability) of rational expectations equilibrium may be affected by monetary policy when the cost channel of monetary policy matters. We focus on both instrumental Taylor-type rules and optimal target rules. We show that standard instrument...

We evaluate the expectational stability (E-stability) of rational expectations equilibrium in a simple "New Keynesian" small open economy model. In particular, we extend Bullard and Mitra (JME, 2002) results of E-stability in closed economy to an open economy framework by evaluating Taylor-type...

We describe Peru's experience of chronic inflation through the 1970s and 1980s as a result of the need for inflationary taxation in a regime of fiscal dominance of monetary policy. Hyperinflation occurred when further debt accumulation became unavailable, and a populist administration engaged in...
