Description
This course studies conventional and unconventional monetary policies in the New Keynesian framework, from the basic New Keynesian model to extended New Keynesian models (with sticky wages, small open economies, or financial frictions). It derives the main implications of these models for optimal monetary policy in normal times and in crisis times, highlighting in particular the importance of private agents’ expectations in the transmission and the conduct of monetary policy, and providing illustrations taken from the practice of various central banks.
