Credibility of central banks in monetary economies
建立了一个货币模型,研究能够监控代理人货币持有量的中央银行干预措施。发现非均衡干预能增强货币使用并稳定其价值,且存在唯一均衡使货币价值为正且恒定。
This paper develops a model of money to study interventions by a central bank that can monitor the money holdings of agents. I show that an off-the-equilibrium intervention enhances the use of money and stabilizes its values. • With CBDC, the central bank can monitor the money holdings of agents. • The central bank intervenes only off the equilibrium. • With an appropriate intervention, there exists a unique equilibrium. • In this equilibrium, the value of money is positive and constant over time.
