Monetary Policy with Model Uncertainty: Distribution Forecast Targeting
We examine optimal and other monetary policies in a linear-quadratic setup with a relatively general form of model uncertainty, so-called Markov jump-linear-quadratic systems extended to include...
Optimal Inflation Targeting: Further Developments of Inflation Targeting
The introduction of inflation targeting has led to major progress in practical monetary policy. Nevertheless, inflation-targeting central banks can make substantial additional progress by being more...
Monetary Policy Issues for the Eurosystem

The Equilibrium Degree of Transparency and Control in Monetary Policy
We examine a central bank's endogenous choice of degree of control and degree of transparency, under both commitment and discretion. Under commitment, we find that the deliberate choice of sloppy...
Does the P* Model provide Any Rationale for Monetary Targeting?
The so called P* model is frequently used or referred to in discussions of monetary targeting. This gives the impression that the P* model might provide some rationale for monetary targeting or for...
