Price and Output Stability under Price‐Level Targeting

Southern Economic Journal, 2001
It is commonly believed that a monetary policy that targets the price level reduces the long‐term variability of the price level, but only at the cost of increased variability of both inflation and output. We develop a model in which the one‐step‐ahead variance of output and the price level are lower under price‐level targeting than under inflation ...

Price Stability [PDF]

open access: possibleConstanta Maritime University Annals, Vol. 18, 2012, 2012
We can talk about price stability when not seen as inflation or deflation phenomena. Thus the European Central Bank defines price stability as an increase of up to 2% per annum of the harmonized index of consumer prices. The lowest inflation rates were recorded in countries such as Greece and Sweden, and the highest in Hungary, followed by Romania ...

The Case for Price Stability [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2001
Reasoning within the New Neoclassical Synthesis (NNS) we previously recommended that price stability should be the primary objective of monetary policy.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
The European System of Central Banks (ESCB) is contractually obliged to ensure price stability. That is a vital prerequisite for the applicability of the nominalistic principle in a monetary economy according to which money debt consists merely of a certain quantity of accounting units like a number of dollars or euros.

Price stabilizing, Pareto improving policies

Economic Theory, 2010
The paper studies a simple three period overlapping generations (OLG) model with incomplete markets and shows that stabilisation may be welfare improving. Volatility of endogenous variables is created by volatility in demand and supply. Thus, curbing price volatility must be done by limiting, directly or indirectly, the actions of agents.

Price flexibility and output stability

1994
In this symposium I shall play the role in which I was cast, the unreconstructed old Keynesian. Time was when I resisted labels and schools, naively hoping that our fledgling science was outgrowing them. I had, to be sure, been drawn into economics when The General Theory was an exciting revelation for students hungry for explanation and remedy of the ...
