Lessons Of The Elb
I gave a curt presentation on monetary policy at the Nobel Symposium run past times the Swedish House of Finance. It was an amazing conference, as well as I'll ship service a spider web log review every bit shortly every bit they acquire the slides upward of the other talks. Offered fifteen minutes to summarize what I know almost the null bound, every bit good every bit to comment on presentations past times Mike Woodford as well as Stephanie Schmitt-Grohé, hither is what I had to say. There is a pdf version here as well as slides here. Novelty disclaimer: Obviously, this involves a lot of recycling as well as digesting older material. But simplifying as well as digesting is a lot of what nosotros do.
Update: video of the presentation here. Or hopefully the next embed works:
We just observed a dramatic monetary experiment. In the US, the short-term involvement charge per unit of measurement orbit was stuck at null for 8 years. Reserves rose from 10 billion to 3,000 billion. Yet inflation behaved inwards this recession as well as expansion almost precisely every bit it did inwards the previous one. The 10 twelvemonth bond charge per unit of measurement continued its gentle downward tendency unperturbed past times QE or much of anything else.
Europe's bound is ongoing alongside the same result.
Nippon had essentially null involvement rates for 23 years. And..
Inflation stayed placidity as well as slightly negative the whole time. 23 years of the Friedman rule?
Our governments laid off what should receive got been 2 monetary atomic bombs. Almost zippo happened. This experiment has deep lessons for monetary economics.
Stability Lessons
We learned that inflation tin live stable as well as quiet--the opposite of volatile--in a long-lasting menstruum of immobile involvement rates, as well as alongside immense reserves that pay marketplace interest.
The simplest theoretical interpretation is that inflation is stable nether passive policy or fifty-fifty an involvement charge per unit of measurement peg. Alternative stories--it's actually unstable but nosotros had 23 years of bad luck--are actually strained.
Stability is the key concept inwards my remarks today, as well as I emphasize it alongside the cute picture. If inflation is unstable, a key banking enterprise is similar a seal balancing a ball on its nose. If inflation is stable, the banking enterprise is similar Professor Calculus swinging his pendulum. Watching inflation as well as involvement rates inwards normal times y'all cannot tell the seal from the Professor. Asking the professor powerfulness non help. Tintin fans volition think that the Professor, possibly similar the Fed, idea he was next the pendulum, non the other means around.
But if y'all concord soundless the seal's nose, or the professor's hand, y'all unwrap out which is the case.
We just ran that experiment. The result: Inflation is stable. Many hallowed doctrines autumn past times the wayside.
Quantity lessons
We acquire that arbitrary quantities of interest-paying reserves practise non threaten inflation or deflation. We tin alive the Friedman-optimal quantity of money. There is no demand to command the quantity of reserves. There is no ground for regime debt to live artificially illiquid past times maturity or denomination. Governments could offering reserve-like debt to all of us, essentially money marketplace accounts. Too bad for reverse hallowed doctrines.
Interest charge per unit of measurement lessons
The lessons for involvement charge per unit of measurement policy are fifty-fifty deeper.
\begin{align} x_t &= E_t x_{t+1} - \sigma(i_t - E_t\pi_{t+1} + v^r_t) \label{IS}\\ \pi_t &= E_t\pi_{t+1} + \kappa x_t \label{NK}\\ i_t &= \max\left[ i^\ast + \phi(\pi_t-\pi^\ast),0\right] \label{TR} \end{align} \begin{equation} (E_{t+1}-E_t) \pi_{t+1} = (E_{t+1}-E_t) \sum_{j=0}^\infty m_{t,t+j} s_{t+j}/b_t .\label{FTPL} \end{equation}
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 mutual construction unites all the views I volition discuss: An IS relation linking the output gap to existent involvement rates; a Phillips curve; a policy dominion past times which involvement rates may react to inflation as well as output; as well as the regime debt valuation equation, which states that an unexpected inflation or deflation, which changes the value of regime bonds, must stand upward for to a alter inwards the acquaint value of surpluses
The equations are non at issue. All models incorporate these equations, including the concluding one. The issues are, How nosotros solve, use, as well as translate these equations? What is nature of expectations--adaptive, rational, or inwards between? How practise nosotros grip multiple equilibria? And what is the nature of fiscal/monetary coordination? Preview: that concluding 1 is the key to solving all the puzzles.
Adaptive Expectations / Old-Keynesian
The adaptive expectations view, from Friedman 1968 to much of the policy basis today, makes a clear prediction: Inflation is unstable, so a deflation spiral breaks out at the lower bound. I copy such a model inwards the graph. There is a negative natural charge per unit of measurement shock; 1 time the involvement charge per unit of measurement hits the bound, deflation spirals away.
The deflation spiral did non happen. This theory is wrong.
Rational Expectations / New-Keynesian I
The New Keynesian tradition uses rational expectations. Now the model is stable. That is a a large plume inwards the new-Keynesian cap.
But the new-Keynesian model exclusively ties downwardly expected inflation. Unexpected inflation tin live anything. There are multiple stable equilibria, every bit indicated past times the graph from Stephanie's famous JPE paper. This persuasion predicts that the bound--or whatsoever passive policy--should characteristic sunspot volatility.
For example, Clarida Galà as well as Gertler famously claimed that passive policy inwards the 70s led to inflation volatility, as well as active policy inwards the 1980s quieted inflation. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 generation of researchers worried that Japan's null bound, as well as so our own, must outcome inwards a resurgence of volatility.
It did non happen. Inflation is besides quiet, as well as hence land determinate, at the bound. This theory is wrong--or at to the lowest degree incomplete.
New-Keynesian II Selection past times futurity active policy
Another branch of new-Keynesian thinking selects amid the multiple equilibria during the bound past times expectations of futurity active policy.
To illustrate, this graph presents inflation inwards the uncomplicated novel Keynesian model. There is a natural charge per unit of measurement daze from fourth dimension 0 to 5, provoking a null bound during that period. There are multiple stable inflation equilibria.
The lower carmine equilibrium is a mutual choice, featuring a deep deflation as well as recession. To conduct it, authors assume that later on the bound ends, the key banking enterprise returns to active policy, threatening to explode the economic scheme for whatsoever but its desired inflation target, null here. Working back, nosotros conduct that 1 equilibrium during the bound.
Forward guidance
In this persuasion modest changes inwards expectations almost futurity inflation piece of job backwards to large changes at before times. Therefore, if the key banking enterprise promised inflation somewhat higher upward target at the cease of the bound, that hope would piece of job its means dorsum to large stimulus during the bound. Forward guidance offers rigid stimulus.
One of Mike's principal points today is that a cost grade target tin aid to enforce such a commitment. Stephanie's policy of raising rates to heighten inflation at the cease of the bound tin similarly piece of job its means dorsum inwards fourth dimension as well as receive during the the bound, possibly avoiding the bound all together.
Forward guidance puzzles
This selection past times futurity active policy, however, has huge problems. First, promises farther inwards the futurity receive got larger effects today! I asked my married adult woman if she would create dinner if I promised to create clean upward five years from now. It didn't work.
Second, every bit nosotros brand prices less sticky, dynamics travel on faster. So, though cost stickiness is the exclusively friction, making prices less viscid makes deflation as well as depression worse. The frictionless boundary is negative infinity, though the frictionless boundary dot is modest inflation as well as no recession. These problems are intrinsic to stability, as well as hence rattling robust: stable forwards is unstable backward.
New Keynesian Solutions
The new-Keynesian literature is ripping itself apart to laid upward these paradoxes. Mike, Xavier Gabaix, as well as others abandon rational expectations. Alas fifty-fifty that pace does non laid upward the problem.
Mike offers a k-step induction. It is complex. I spent over a calendar month trying to reproduce a basic instance of his method, as well as I failed. You receive got to live a lot smarter or to a greater extent than patient than me to usage it. Moreover, it exclusively reduces the magnitude of the backward explosion, non its fundamental nature.
If nosotros become dorsum to adaptive expectations, every bit Xavier as well as others do--after a similar hundred pages of hard equations--then we're dorsum to stable backward but explosive forward. Stable backward solves the forwards guidance puzzle--but the lack of a spiral just told us inflation is stable forward. Also, y'all receive got to modify the model to the dot that eigenvalues alter from less to greater than one. It takes a discrete amount of irrationality to practise that.
Fiscal theory of monetary policy
So allow me unveil the answer. I telephone phone it the Fiscal Theory of Monetary Policy. The model is unchanged, but nosotros solve it differently. We take away the supposition that surpluses ``passively'' accommodate whatsoever cost level. Now, nosotros pick equilibria past times unexpected inflation, at the left side of the graph.
For example, an unexpected deflation tin exclusively travel on if the regime volition heighten taxes or cutting spending to pay a windfall to bondholders. (Or, if discount rates heighten the acquaint value of surpluses, which is of import empirically.) For example, if at that spot is no financial news, nosotros pick the equilibrium alongside the large carmine foursquare at zero.
This is non approximately wild novel theory. It is just a wealth effect of regime bonds. We're replaying Pigou vs. Keynes, alongside much amend equations.
The outcome is a model that is simple, stable, as well as solves all the puzzles.
Instantly, nosotros know why the downward deflation bound did non happen. The groovy recession was non accompanied past times a deflationary financial tightening!
Tying downwardly the left cease of the graph, promises farther inwards the futurity receive got less effect today as well as at that spot is a smoothen frictionless limit. Tying downwardly the left cease of the graph stops backward explosions. You don't receive got to pick a item value. The limits are cured if y'all just bound the size of financial surprises, as well as hence maintain the bound on the left manus side from growing.
We tin maintain rational expectations. This is non a religious commandment. Some irrational expectations are a fine component for matching information as well as real-world policy; introducing approximately lags inwards the Phillips bend for example. But Mike's as well as others' endeavour to repair null bound puzzles past times irrational expectations is non such an epicycle. It asserts that the basic properties of monetary policy depend on people never catching on. It implies that all of economic science as well as all of finance must abandon rational expectations fifty-fifty every bit crude oil approximations. Just to solve approximately murky paradoxes of novel Keynesian models at the lower bound? For example, Andrei Shleifer, before today, argued for irrational expectations. But fifty-fifty he build on the efficient marketplace rational expectation model, suggesting deviations from it. He did non require irrational expectations to get to beak almost property pricing, or require that all of economic science must adopt his shape of irrational expectations.
I did non intend the hateful solar daytime would come upward that I would live defending the basic new-Keynesian programme -- build a model of monetary policy that plays past times Lucas rules, or at to the lowest degree is a generalization of a model that does so -- as well as that Mike Woodford would live trying to tear it down. Yet hither nosotros are. Promote the financial equation from the footnotes as well as y'all tin salvage the rest.
Neo-Fisherism
Neo-Fisherism is an unavoidable effect of stability. If inflation is stable at a peg, so raising the involvement charge per unit of measurement as well as keeping it at that spot must atomic number 82 to higher inflation.
Conventional wisdom goes the other way. But it is soundless possible that higher involvement rates temporarily lower inflation, accounting for that belief.
The touchstone new-Keyensian model, every bit illustrated inwards Harald as well as Marty's slides seems to accomplish a temporary negative sign. However it exclusively does so past times marrying a financial contraction ("passively,'' but soundless there) to the monetary policy shock. It besides requires an AR(1) policy disturbance -- beyond the AR(1) at that spot is no connector betwixt the permanence of the daze as well as the rising or pass upward of inflation.
Can nosotros hit a negative sign from a pure monetary policy daze -- a rising inwards involvement rates that does non coincide alongside financial tightening?
FTMP, long-term debt and a negative curt run response
The financial theory of monetary policy tin deliver that temporary negative effect alongside long term debt. The graph presents the cost level, inwards a completely frictionless economic scheme consisting exclusively of a Fisher equation as well as the valuation equation. When nominal involvement rates rise, the marketplace value of debt on the left declines. (First business below graph.) If surpluses on the correct practise non change, the cost grade on the left must besides decline. Then, the Fisherian positive effect kicks in.
FTMP, long-term debt, viscid prices as well as a realistic response
If y'all add together viscid prices, so a rising inwards involvement rates results inwards a smoothed out disinflation. This is a perfectly reasonable--but long-run Fisherian--response function.
Neofisherism?
In sum, the long-run Fisherian outcome is an inescapable effect of stability.
The financial theory tin give a temporary negative sign, but exclusively if the involvement charge per unit of measurement rising is unexpected, credibly persistent, as well as at that spot is long-term debt. Those considerations amplify Stephanie's telephone phone for gradual as well as pre-announced involvement charge per unit of measurement rises to heighten inflation.
The contrast betwixt the US, that followed Stephanie's advice as well as is straight off seeing a rising inwards inflation, alongside Nippon as well as Europe, is suggestive.
The negative sign inwards the touchstone new-Keynesian model comes past times assuming a financial contraction coincident alongside the monetary policy shock.
Beware! These arguments practise non hateful that high inflation countries similar Brazil, Turkey, as well as Venezuela tin only lower rates to lower inflation. Everything hither flows from financial foundations, as well as absent financial foundations as well as commitment to permanently lower rates, inflation is inevitable.
