Determinacy, learnability, and plausibility in monetary policy analysis: additional results
It is almost superfluous to begin by emphasizing that recent research in monetary policy analysis has featured a great deal of work concerning conditions for determinacy—that is, existence of a unique dynamically stable rational expectations equilibrium— under various specifications of policy behavior.1 ...
Monetary policy in Chile: institutions objectives and instruments
Inflation seemed to be an endemic disease of the Chilean economy for most of the 20th century with its presence being felt even before the creation of the Central Bank in 1925.

Bordo and others (2001) find that in recent decades their frequency has doubled that of the Bretton Woods period (1945–71) and the gold standard era (1880–1993) becoming comparable only to the period during the Great Depression. Nevertheless the ...
Centralización, focalización y consecuencias no deseadas: evaluación de los programas de empleo en Chile

Nuestros resultados sugieren que los programas de subsidios a la contratación y capacitación son más eficientes (en términos de productividad) que los programas de empleo directo, aunque no se focalizan ...
Does inflation targeting make a difference?
Inflation targeting is the new kid on the block of monetary regimes. Since New Zealand and Chile first adopted the regime in 1990, a growing number of industrial and developing countries have followed suit, anchoring their monetary policy to explicit targets for inflation.
