Short and Long Interest Rate Targets

No 452, 2012 Meeting Papers from Society for Economic Dynamics

Abstract: A target for the short-term nominal interest rate does not pin down realized inflation. Neither does it pin down the term premia. Short and long rates are threrefore independent monetary policy instruments. A target of the term structure is equivalent to a peg of the returns on state-contingent nominal assets. These are the rates that should be targeted in order to pin down realized inflation.
