Monetary Policy Inclinations

Hans Gersbach and Volker Hahn

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 2011, vol. 43, issue 8, 1707-1717

Abstract: We examine whether central banks should complement their inflation forecasts with interest rate projections. Introducing a central bank loss function that accounts for deviations from announcements, we incorporate the publication of policy inclinations into a dynamic monetary model. We show that in the presence of cost‐push shocks, the publication of interest rate forecasts tends to improve welfare.
