On the unimportance of commitment for monetary policy
In a New Keynesian model where the trade-off between stabilising the aggregate inflation rate and the output gap arises from sectoral asymmetries, the gains from commitment are either zero or negligible. Thus, to the extent that economic fluctuations are caused by sectoral shocks, policies designed to overcome the stabilisation bias are aiming to correct an unimportant problem.

Ramsey Optimal Policy versus Multiple Equilibria with Fiscal and Monetary Interactions
We consider a frictionless constant endowment economy based on Leeper (1991). In this economy, it is shown that, under an ad-hoc monetary rule and an ad-hoc fiscal rule, there are two equilibria. One has active monetary …
Imperfect Credibility versus No Credibility of Optimal Monetary Policy
A minimal central bank credibility, with a non-zero probability of not renegning his commitment ("quasi-commitment"), is a necessary condition for anchoring inflation expectations and stabilizing inflation dynamics. By c…
China's Easily Overlooked Monetary Transmission Mechanism: Monetary Reservoir
The traditional monetary transmission mechanism usually views the equity markets as the monetary reservoir that absorbs over-issued money, but due to China's unique fiscal and financial system, the real estate sector has…

We develop a unified microeconomic and monetary theory of artificial intelligence inference costs and their pass-through to inflation, welfare, and optimal monetary policy. We introduce the Inference-Cost Phillips Curve …
Analyzing Linear DSGE models: the Method of Undetermined Markov States
I show that a class of Linear DSGE models with one endogenous state variable can be represented as a three-state Markov chain. I develop a new analytical solution method based on this representation, which amounts to sol…
