Liquidity, Quantitative Easing and Optimal Monetary Policy

Abstract: We investigate optimal monetary policy design using a New Keynesian model that accommodates liquidity frictions. In this model, unlike the standard New Keynesian model, the central bank faces a trade-off between inflation and output stabilisation. Optimal policy requires a temporary deviation from price stability in response to a negative shock to the liquidity of private financial assets. We find that quantitative easing improves the trade-off between inflation and output by improving liquidity conditions in the economy.
