Alternative Monetary Policy Rules and the Specification of the Phillips Curve: A Comparison of Nominal Income with Strict Inflation Targeting

Abstract

Alternative Regeln der Geldpolitik und die Formulierung der Phillips-Kurve: Ein Vergleich zwischen der nominellen BSP-Zielsteuerung und der Inflationszielsteuerung Auf der Basis eines simplen "backward-looking"-Makromodells erläutert dieser Beitrag, wie eine auf BSP-Steuerung bedachte instabile Geldpolitik verhindert werden kann, indem die Notenbank ein Hybrid-BSP-Ziel anstrebt. Ein Hybrid- BSP-Ziel ist eine spezielle Form der optimalen Geldpolitik. Mittels eines Vergleichs wird dann belegt, unter welchen Voraussetzungen das Hybrid-BSP-Ziel einer anderen Form der optimalen Geldpolitik, einer die ein Inflationsziel anstrebt, überlegen ist. Eine ähnliche Analyse der beiden geldpolitischen Strategien wird auch in einem "forward-looking"-Modell durchgeführt. Entgegen der U-förmigen Politikgrenzen (policy frontiers), die auf dem "backward-looking"-Modell basieren, implizieren die aus diesem Modell hervorgehenden Politikgrenzen einen monotonen Trade-off zwischen den relevanten Parametern des Modells. Je größer der Parameter der realen Outputlücke in der Phillips-Kurve, desto attraktiver gestaltet sich ein Inflationsziel im Vergleich mit dem Hybrid-BSP-Ziel. Es ist eher wahrscheinlich, daß eine starre Geldpolik, die auf einem Inflationsziel beharrt, einer Geldpolitik, die die Wachstumsrate des nominellen BSP – anstatt eines Hybrid-BSP – anstrebt, überlegen ist. Diese Schlußfolgerung hängt jedoch von der Größe des Parameters der Outputlücke in der Phillips-Kurve ab.

Alternative Monetary Policy Rules and the Specification of the Phillips Curve: A Comparison of Nominal Income with Strict Inflation Targeting This paper shows that the instability of nominal income targeting in a simple backward-looking macro model disappears if the policymaker chooses to adopt a hybrid nominal income target, which is a special case of the optimal monetary policy. This form of nominal income targeting is compared to another form of optimal monetary policy, strict inflation targeting, so as to establish the conditions under which the former strategy is preferable to the latter. For most coefficient estimates reported in the literature hybrid nominal income targeting is likely to dominate strict inflation targeting as a strategy of monetary policy. We also analyze the two strategies of monetary policy using a forward-looking specification as our baseline model. In contrast to the policy frontier based on the backward-looking model, this policy frontier is not U-shaped; instead it implies a monotonic trade-off between the relevant parameters. In this model the strict inflation target becomes more attractive relative to the hybrid nominal income target as the Phillips Curve parameter increases in size. A strict inflation target is more likely to dominate a nominal income growth rate target than a hybrid nominal income target for certain values of the Phillips Curve parameter. (JEL E5)
