Does the P* Model Provide Any Rationale for Monetary Targeting?

Abstract: 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 the monetary reference value used by the Eurosystem. The P* model implies that inflation is determined by the level of and changes in the `real money gap' (the deviation of current real balances from their long‐run equilibrium level), and hence that the real money gap is an important indicator for future inflation. Nevertheless, the P* model does not seem to provide any rationale for either a Bundesbank‐style money‐growth target or a Eurosystem‐style money‐growth indicator.
