Assessing Nominal Income Rules for Monetary Policy with Model and Data Uncertainty
研究在模型不确定性和实时数据不确定性下，名义收入规则作为货币政策规则的表现，发现名义产出增长的作用有限。
Nominal income rules for monetary policy have long been debated, but two issues are of particular recent interest. First, there are questions about the performance of such rules over a range of plausible empirical models – especially models with and without explicit rational inflation expectations. Second, there are questions about the performance of these rules in real time using the type of data that is actually available contemporaneously to policy makers rather than final revised data. This paper determines optimal monetary policy rules in the presence of such model uncertainty and real‐time data uncertainty and finds only a limited role for nominal output growth.
