Interest rate pass-through monetary policy rules and macroeconomic stability

The influence of monetary policy on aggregate demand and inflation depends on the degree to which changes in the policy interest rate are ‘passed through’ to retail interest rates. In this paper we focus on the possibility of sunspot fluctuations that arise from self-fulfilling revisions in expectations. Interest Rate Pass-Through, Monetary Policy Rules and Macroeconomic Stability In this paper we analyze equilibrium determinacy in a sticky price model in which the pass-through from policy rates to retail interest rates is sluggish and potentially incomplete. The stability properties associated with monetary policy rules have attracted a substantial amount of attention. In particular, monetary policy rules give rise to a determinate equilibrium if the implied response to inflation is suf-ficiently strong. To avoid indeterminacy, nominal interest rates have to re-

We then compare some of the implications of the estimated rules for equilibrium properties of inflation and output, using a simple macroeconomic model. The price of this asset—the exchange rate —quickly reacts to changes in monetary policy, feeding into demand and supply and ultimately to output and prices. Other channels of transmission —the interest rate channel, the asset price channel, and the credit channel —tend to dominate in more developed markets. The Federal Reserve's recent interest-rate cuts have done little to stop the stock market crash. The Fed's series of rate cuts over the past six months, when there was no imminent signs of

Monetary policy transmission in China The recent macroeconomic literature stresses the importance of managing heterogeneous expectations in the formulation of monetary policy. We use a simple frictionless dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model to investigate inflation dynamics under alternative interest rate rules when agents have heterogeneous expectations, and update their beliefs based on past performance, as in
