Abstract: Communication has become an increasingly important aspect of monetary policy. This paper studies optimal central bank communication in a monetary DSGE model. The basic model setup resembles a New Keynesian model, but private-sector agents have limited attention and optimally allocate attention. Households and decision-makers in firms choose the attention devoted to fundamentals and announcements by the central bank. I characterize the optimal communication strategy by the central bank.
