We investigate both the rational explosive inflation paths studied by McCallum (2001) and the classification of fiscal … for which the fiscal theory solution - in which fiscal variables affect the price level - can be a stable outcome under …

Using New Keynesian models, we compare Friedman's k-percent money supply rule to optimal interest rate setting, with respect to determinacy, stability under learning and optimality.We first review the recent literature.Open-loop interest rate rules are subject to indeterminacy and instability...

In this paper we consider inflation and government debt dynamics when monetary policy employs a global interest rate … interest rate rules are known to imply the existence of a second, low inflation steady state, below the target inflation rate … inflation steady state and is driven to an even lower inflation floor which, in turn, is supported by a switch to an aggressive …
