Managing Expectations

Abstract: The idea that monetary policy is principally about "managing expectations" has taken hold in central banks around the world. Discussions of expectations management by central bankers, academics and by financial market participants frequently also include the idea that central bank credibility is imperfect. We adapt a familiar macroeconomic model so as to discuss key concepts in the area of expectations management. Our work also exemplifies a model construction approach to analyzing the dynamics of announcement… Show more

“…It is now widely accepted that many aspects of modern monetary policy aim to manage inflation expectations (King, Lu, and Pastén 2008). This is because economic agents forward-looking decisions typically depend on expected real interest rates over reasonably long horizons (up to, and beyond, 20 years for major investment decisions).…”

“…In contrast to the Gaussian signal extraction problems studied here, discrete regime switches are an attractive alternative for modeling central bank “types” like weak/soft or commitment/discretion as in Backus and Driffill (), Cukierman and Liviatan (), Ball (), Walsh (), and King, Lu and Pasten (). Unobserved regime switches, however, lead to important nonlinearities in the public's inference problem, which complicate the constraints in an optimal policy problem considerably.…”
