The monetary transmission mechanism in the United Kingdom: pass-through and policy rules
A number of recent papers have used policy simulations from small empirical macroeconomic models to assess the efficacy of inflation targeting or, more precisely, inflation forecast targeting (Svensson, 1997a). These include Rudebush and Svensson (1999). The models used to undertake these simulations ...
Response to external and inflation schocks in a small open economy
Monetary policy design has experienced major changes over the last twenty years. These changes had their origin in changes in macroeconomic theory, a better understanding of the importance of achieving and maintaining low inflation, and the abandonment of fixed pegs in favor of floating exchange rate ...
Eficiencia de la política monetaria en Chile ¿existieron mejoras?
La volatilidad del producto y de la tasa de inflación disminuyó de manera importante en los últimos años. Esta mejora del desempeño económico se puede explicar tanto por una caída de los shocks que enfrenta la economía como por una mejora en la política monetaria. Este documento explora la contribución ...
Inflation targeting under political pressure
Historically, many emerging economies, particularly in Latin America, battled against persistently high and volatile inflation. Today, emerging economies continue to experience higher inflation than developed ones, and their central banks deviate more frequently from inflation targets. These patterns ...
Credibility and inflation targeting in Chile
After a long history of high and volatile inflation, the Central Bank of Chile began implementing its monetary policy in the early 1990s by announcing yearly targets for inflation. This new framework was the first step toward a full-fledged inflation-targeting setup, although the Central Bank continued ...
Inflation target transparency and the macroeconomy
Over the last twenty years, many central banks have adopted increasing standards of transparency in communicating their monetary policy objectives, in particular regarding the explicit definition and quantification of their price stability objective or inflation target. One important benefit of increased ...
Régimen de metas de inflación y credibilidad de la política monetaria en Chile
En este artículo presentamos nueva evidencia de cambios recientes en la dinámica inflacionaria en Chile. Mostramos que las rigideces de precios han aumentado, mientras el grado de indexación a la inflación pasada ha decrecido a lo largo del tiempo. También mostramos que el traspaso del tipo de cambio ...
Changing inflation dynamics, evolving monetary policy
Empirical models have failed to explain inflation behavior over the last 20 years in most developed economies. The unusual inflation dynamics—the ‘missing deflation’ during recessions and the ‘missing inflation’ during recoveries—points to a failure of Phillips curve predictions. Several hypotheses ...
Monetary policy under inflation targeting
Inflation targeting cum exchange-rate floating has become the framework of choice in countries pursuing an independent and effective monetary policy. Since its adoption by New Zealand (1990) and Chile (1991), central banks of nearly 25 industrial and emerging economies have implemented an explicit ...
