Makroekonomická analýza pomocí DSGE modelů / The Macroeconomic Analysis with DSGE ModelsPrůchová, Anna January 2012 (has links)
Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models are derived from microeconomic principles and they retain the hypothesis of rational expectations under policy changes. Thus they are resistant to the Lucas critique. The DSGE model has become associated with new Keynesian thinking. The basic New Keynesian model is studied in this thesis. The three equations of this model are dynamic IS curve, Phillips-curve and monetary policy rule. Blanchard and Kahn's approach is introduced as the solution strategy for linearized model. Two methods for evaluating DSGE models are presented -- calibration and Bayesian estimation. Calibrated parametres are used to fit the model to Czech economy. The results of numeric experiments are compared with empricial data from Czech republic. DSGE model's suitability for monetary policy analysis is evaluated.

[en] BANKING SPREAD DECOMPOSITION THROUGH A STRUCTURAL MACROECONOMIC MODEL / [pt] DECOMPOSIÇÃO DO SPREAD BANCÁRIO ATRAVÉS DE UM MODELO MACROECONÔMICO ESTRUTURAL20 September 2021 (has links)
[pt] Este artigo objetiva decompor o spread bancário utilizando um modelo macroeconômico estrutural. Nós enriquecemos um arcabouço de equilíbrio geral com empréstimos para indivíduos e firmas que podem inadimplir, um setor bancário em competição monopolística e sujeito a custos administrativos
e também acrescentamos uma estrutura de impostos relacionadas a intermediação bancária. Essas características da composição do spread estão em linha com a literatura empírica dos determinantes do spread bancário e com a decomposição contábil do spread realizada pelo Banco Central
do Brasil (BCB). Nossa análise quantitativa revela que a redução do spread para indivíduos é maior quando aumentamos a competição no mercado bancário (3.77 p.p. trimestral ou 54 porcento comparado a calibração baseline). Ademais, redução do custo administrativo é a maneira mais eficaz para reduzir
o spread para firmas (1.35 p.p. trimestral ou 46 porcento comparado a calibração baseline) e também é capaz de reduzir o spread para indivíduos (2.5 p.p. trimestral ou 36 porcento comparado a calibração baseline). Resultados também sugerem cuidado na formulação de políticas econômicas somente baseadas
na decomposição contábil realizada pelo BCB e sem um modelo econômico fundamentando a análise. Esta dissertação também revela alguns desafios relacionados à inclusão da inadimplência juntamente com um mercado bancário em competição imperfeita e sua contribuição para formação do spread. / [en] This paper aims to decompose the banking spread using a structural macroeconomic model. We embedded a general equilibrium framework with loans to households and entrepreneurs that may be in default, a banking sector in monopolistic competition and subject to administrative costs, and we also added a tax structure related to bank intermediation. These characteristics for the composition of the spread are in line with the empirical literature on banking spread determinants in Brazil and with the accounting
decomposition of the spread made by the Banco Central do Brasil (BCB). Our quantitative findings reveal that household spread reduction is greater when we increase competition in the banking sector (3.77 p.p. quarterly or 54 percent decrease compared to baseline calibration). Furthermore, reducing administrative cost is the most effective way of diminishing entrepreneur spread (1.35 p.p. quarterly or 46 percent decrease compared to baseline) and it is also capable of diminishing household spread (2.5 p.p. quarterly or 36 percent decrease compared to baseline). Results also suggest some careful actions by
policy makers only supported by BCB accounting decomposition without an economic model underpinning the analysis. This dissertation also reveals some challenges regarding the inclusion of credit default with a banking sector in imperfect competition and its contribution to the spread formation.

Essay on Bayesian Estimation of DSGE ModelsFerroni, Filippo 25 May 2009 (has links)
Esta tesis presenta tres diferentes experimentos de política utilizando estimaciones Bayesianas de modelos DSGE. En la primera parte, se quiere demostrar que una política fiscal contracíclica es un instrumento importante para la estabilidad macroeconómica. Este resultado es robusto a diferentes controles. En la segunda parte, se demuestra las variaciones de las estimaciones de los parámetros estructurales según la descomposición ciclo-tendencia, si en uno o en dos estadios. Resulta que con un procedimiento a dos estadios la volatilidad del PIB es explicada mayormente por shocks nominales, mientras que con un procedimiento a un estadio por un shock a la inversión. Se argumenta que el procedimiento a un estadio proporciona una estructura probabilística más coherente. La tercera parte de la tesis propone una manera de estimar los parámetros estructurales utilizando la información procedente de distintos filtros. Mientras que con un tipo de estimación con un único filtro el dinero tiene poca influencia en las fluctuaciones de medio plazo, con un sistema de múltiples filtros el dinero tiene un papel importante en la transmisión de los shocks. / This thesis examines three different policy experiments using Bayesian estimates of DSGE models. First, we show that countercyclical fiscal policies are important to smooth fluctuations and that this is true regardless of how we specify the fiscal rule and several details of the model. Second, we show that the sources of output volatility obtained from a cyclical DSGE model crucially depend on whether estimation is done sequentially or jointly. In fact, while with a two step procedure, where the trend is first removed, nominal shocks drive output volatility, investment shocks dominate when structural and trend parameters are estimated jointly. Finally, we examine the role of money for business cycle fluctuations with a single and a multiple filtering approach, where information provided by different filters is jointly used to estimate DSGE parameters. In the former case, money has a marginal role for output and inflation fluctuations, while in the latter case is important to transmit cyclical fluctuations.

Účinnost nekonvenční měnové politiky na nulové spodní hranici úrokových sazeb: využití DSGE přístupu / The Effectiveness of Unconventional Monetary Policy Tools at the Zero Lower Bound: A DSGE ApproachMalovaná, Simona January 2014 (has links)
The central bank is not able to further ease monetary conditions once it ex- hausts the space for managing short-term policy rate. Then it has to turn its attention to unconventional measures. The thesis provides a discussion about the suitability of different unconventional policy tools in the Czech situation while the foreign exchange (FX) interventions have proven to be the most appropriate choice. A New Keynesian small open economy DSGE model estimated for the Czech Republic is enhanced to model the FX interventions and to compare dif- ferent monetary policy rules at the zero lower bound (ZLB). The thesis provides three main findings. First, the volatility of the real and nominal macroeconomic variables is magnified in the response to the domestic demand shock, the for- eign financial shock and the foreign inflation shock. Second, the volatility of prices decreases significantly if the central bank adopts price-level or exchange rate targeting rule. Third, intervening to fix the nominal exchange rate on some particular target or to correct a misalignment of the real exchange rate from its fundamentals serves as a good stabilizer of prices while intervening to smooth the nominal exchange rate movements increases the overall macroeconomic volatility at the ZLB. 1

Three Essays on Taxation and Macroeconomic DynamicsVoigts, Simon 19 July 2017 (has links)
Diese Dissertation untersucht, wie sich die Ausgestaltung eines Steuersystems – bzw. dessen Änderungen – auf die Dynamik von makroökonomischen Variablen auswirken kann. Die Analyse wird mit Hilfe von allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodellen durchgeführt, die Keynesianische Eigenschaften haben und durch die Berücksichtigung von stochastischen Elementen dynamisch sind. Die Arbeit umfasst drei Essays, deren Hauptfokus auf der Eurozone liegt und die politikrelevanten Fragestellungen gewidmet sind. Die Arbeit deckt klassische Themen wie fiskalische Multiplikatoren und „Liability-Side Equivalence“ ab, aber sie beschäftigt sich auch mit dem aktuellen Thema der fiskalischen Abwertung.
Das erste Essay untersucht die Auswirkungen von Änderungen in der Mehrwertsteuer auf die gesamt– wirtschaftliche Leistung einer Volkswirtschaft. Die Neuerung gegenüber bisherigen modellbasierten Publikationen über diese Fragestellung besteht in einer realistischen Modellierung des „tax pass-through“, also der Weitergabe von Steueränderung an Konsumenten durch Preisanpassungen. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass eine empirisch plausible pass-through-Dynamik die kurzfristigen Mehrwertsteuer Multiplikatoren drastisch reduziert gegenüber denen in herkömmlichen Modellen. Die gewonnene Einsicht, dass Standard-Modelle der institutionellen und akademischen Forschung die kurzfristigen Multiplikatoren dramatisch überschätzen, kann potentiell zu einer Verbesserung von modellbasierten Politikempfehlungen beitragen.
Das zweite Essay befasst sich mit fiskalischen Abwertungen. Diese Politik zielt auf eine Abwertung des realen Wechselkurses – und damit auf eine Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit – ab, ohne dabei die Anpassung eines nominalen Wechselkurses zu erfordern. Sie sieht eine Senkung der Sozialabgaben vor, die durch eine Erhöhung der Mehrwertsteuer finanziert wird. Ein höherer Mehrwertsteuersatz macht importierte Güter teuer, während geminderte Sozialabgaben (und damit geminderte marginale Produktionskosten und Preise) inländische Güter im Ausland billiger machen. In dem Papier betrachten wir eine gemeinsame fiskalische Abwertung aller Peripherieländer der Eurozone. Die Neuerung gegenüber anderen Studien besteht darin, dass Lohnrigiditäten berücksichtigt werden – welche sich für die Effektivität der Reform als zentral erweisen –, und dass wir zwischen zwei Sorten von Abwertungen unterscheiden: Eine, in der Sozialabgaben der Arbeitgeber gesenkt werden, und eine, in der Sozialabgaben der Arbeitnehmer verringert werden. In unserem Modell ist die erstgenannte Form der Abwertung deutlich effektiver.
Das dritte Essay untersucht „Liability-Side Equivalence“ im Zusammenhang von Sozialabgaben. Dieses Prinzip besagt, dass die gesetzlich festgelegte Aufteilung der Abgaben zwischen Arbeitgebern und Arbeitnehmern langfristig keinerlei Konsequenzen für die reale Allokation hat. Ich zeige hingegen, dass die Aufteilung der Abgaben Auswirkungen auf makroökonomische Fluktuationen, auf die Effizienz der Allokation, und damit auf die langfristige Produktivität hat. Die einzige nicht in der Literatur übliche Annahme, die für dieses Ergebnis benötigt wird, ist, dass das Sozialsystem ein ausgeglichenes Budget hat. / This thesis analyzes how the configuration of a country’s tax system – or a change to that system – can affect dynamics of macroeconomic aggregates in New-Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium models. It contains three essays, each having a primary focus on the Euro Area and each addressing a policy-relevant question. The thesis covers classic topics like fiscal multipliers and Liability-Side Equivalence as well as the more recent subject of Fiscal Devaluations.
The first essay analyzes the impact of changes in the value-added tax (VAT) on output. The innovation relative to previous theoretical contributions on this subject is that my model accounts for empirically observed tax pass-through dynamics. I find that the introduction of empirically plausible VAT pass-through dramatically lowers short-run multipliers relative to those obtained if tax pass-through is not rigorously modeled. By showing that workhorse models used in academic and institutional research overestimate the short-run impact of VAT changes, the work might help to improve model-based guidance on the design of discretionary fiscal policy packages.
The second essay addresses Fiscal Devaluations, a policy that is aimed at deteriorating the real exchange rate – and thereby improving a country’s competitiveness – absent an adjustable nominal exchange rate. It prescribes a reduction in social security contributions financed by an increase in the VAT. The higher VAT increases the price for imported goods, while the reduction in social security contributions (which lowers marginal production costs and with it producer prices) makes domestic goods cheaper in the importing countries. In the co-authored paper, we analyze the impact of a Fiscal Devaluation jointly undertaken by Europe’s periphery countries. The novelty is that our model features nominal wage rigidity – which is shown to be crucial for the policy’s effectiveness – and that we compare two types of Fiscal Devaluations, one that reduces firms' social security contributions and one that lowers workers' contributions. We find that the former type is considerably more effective than the latter type.
The third essay investigates Liability-Side Equivalence in the context of social security contributions. This principle implies that the statutory split of contributions between firms and workers does not matter for the real allocation in the long run. I contradict this notion by showing that it matters for macroeconomic fluctuations, for the efficiency of the allocation, and thereby for long-run productivity in my model. The only non-standard assumption required to generate this result is that the social security system runs a balanced budget.

Essais sur la politique budgétaire : Multiplicateurs et interactions budgétaires / Essays on fiscal policy : Fiscal multilpiers and fiscal interactionsHory, Marie-Pierre 01 December 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse étudie les déterminants de l’efficacité de la politique budgétaire, et en analyse les modalités de mise en oeuvre. Le premier chapitre compare la valeur du multiplicateur budgétaire dans les économies émergentes (EMEs)et dans les avancées (AEs). Le multiplicateur est plus faible dans les EMEs que dans les AEs, et si les déterminants du multiplicateur y sont similaires, leur impact et leur hiérarchisation y sont différents. Dans les EMEs, l’amélioration de l’efficacité de la politique budgétaire semble devoir passer par des changements structurels relatifs aux institutions.D’après le chapitre 2, le multiplicateur décroit avec la part de la dette des firmes libellée en monnaie étrangère qui se trouve être particulièrement élevée dans les EMEs. Des mesures limitant les prêts en monnaie étrangère et favorisant le développement du système financier local devraient permettre de recouvrer l’efficacité de la politique budgétaire. Le troisième chapitre montre que les gouvernements européens interagissent entre eux pour fixer leurs politiques budgétaires: ils s’imitent avec un an de délai. Ces interactions sont dues à de la concurrence par comparaison. L’objectif électoral des politiques budgétaires peut en réduire l’efficacité. Aussi, davantage d’institutions seraient nécessaires pour garantir une certaine coordination budgétaire en Europe. Les interactions décalées dans le temps témoignent d’un phénomène de leader-suiveur en Europe, et le chapitre 4 montre que l’Allemagne occupe la place de leader. L’Allemagne pourrait donc amorcer une certaine coordination budgétaire en Europe. / This thesis analyzes the determinants of fiscal policy efficiency and the way fiscal policy is implemented. The first chapter compares the fiscal multiplier in emerging market economies (EMEs) with the one in advanced economies(AEs): the fiscal multiplier is smaller in EMEs than in AEs. While the determinants of fiscal multipliers are similar in both groups, their weights differ across groups. To improve fiscal policy efficiency EMEs seem to need structural policies to better their institutional quality. Chapter 2 empirically and theoretically shows that the fiscal multiplier decreases with the share of firms’ indebtedness that is denominated in foreign currency. EMEs have large debt denominated in foreign currency. Fostering the use of local currency to finance activity, for example via quotas on foreign loans, shall allow EMEs to improve the efficiency of their fiscal policies. Chapter 3 shows that European governments mimic each other in the implementation of fiscal policy with one year delay. These interactions are due to yardstick competition.The electoral objectives of governments may reduce fiscal policy efficiency and the incentive of governments to fiscally cooperate. If we believe in fiscal cooperation as a force to enhance fiscal policy efficiency, more institutions should be set up to foster cooperation in Europe. Moreover, the delayed interactions found are consistent with a leader-follower process, and Chapter 4 shows that Germany is the leader: European countries follow Germany in the implementation of fiscal policy. Hence, the push for fiscal cooperation could come from Germany.

Crises financières, accumulation de dette et défaut souverain / Financial crises, debt accumulation and sovereign defaultViennot, Mathilde 11 December 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse contribue à la littérature sur le défaut souverain en offrant une nouvelle approche d'analyse, réconciliant les approches statistiques et structurelles. Avec comme fil rouge le lien entre crises financières, accumulation de dette et défaut souverain, ce travail répond à trois questions principales.En premier lieu, quand les pays font-ils défaut ? En posant un simple regard sur les principales variables macroéconomiques et les composantes cycliques des défauts souverains, je montre que le défaut se produit quand le pays subit un retournement brutal de croissance, ajouté à un large choc discontinu sur son ratio de dette sur PIB, apporté en majorité par une crise de change ou une crise bancaire.En second lieu, en quoi le risque souverain au sein d'une zone monétaire (par exemple la zone euro) diffère de celui d'une petite économie ouverte en change flexible, majoritairement décrit dans la littérature ? Je construis un modèle DSGE néo-keynésien dans lequel j'introduis du risque souverain ; je mets l'accent sur le rôle clé des comportements de consommation, à la fois dans la préférence pour l'union monétaire et dans la décision de défaut. Je regarde également l'efficacité de certaines politiques fiscales sur la réduction du risque souverain dans une zone monétaire.Enfin, les instruments de politique monétaire ont-ils été efficaces pendant la crise pour réduire les taux souverains ? J'évalue la transmission de la politique monétaire de la BCE, à la fois conventionnelle et non-conventionnelle, aux taux et aux volumes d'émissions de titres souverains pour les quatre plus importantes économies européennes. Je montre que seule la transmission du taux directeur vers les taux souverains a été effective ; les instruments non-conventionnels ont eu des résultats contrastés et essentiellement sur les taux d'intérêt. / This thesis offers a new approach to sovereign default analysis, by tackling both statistical and the structural approaches to sovereign default. Starting from the link between financial crises, debt accumulation and sovereign default, it answers three main questions.First, when do countries default? Taking a simple look at macroeconomic variables and business cycles around default, I show that economic defaults occur when the country experiences a switch from a boom to a bust, combined with a large discontinuous shock on its debt-to-GDP ratio, brought mainly by a currency or a banking crisis.Second, how sovereign risk in a monetary union (e.g. the Eurozone) differs from sovereign default risk in a small open economy usually described in default literature? Constructing a New-Keynesian DSGE model with sovereign default risk, I exhibit the key role of habit persistence in the preference for a monetary union and the default decision. I am also able to test the efficiency of various policy tools on sovereign risk.Third, have monetary policy tools been efficient to reduce sovereign spreads in the Eurozone? I assess the transmission of ECB monetary policies, conventional and unconventional, to both interest rates and bond issuance for the four largest economies of the Euro area. The main result is that only the pass-through from the ECB rate to interest rates has been effective. Unconventional policies have had uneven effects and primarily on interest rates.

Business cycle fluctuations and monetary policy in emerging economies / Fluctuations de cycle économique et politique monétaire dans les économies émergentesMrad, Houda 29 June 2018 (has links)
Dans cette thèse nous examinons différents aspects des fluctuations dans les économies émergentes. Premièrement, afin d’établir les régularités empiriques de ces pays nous examinons le contexte économique des pays du Moyen Orient et d’Afrique du Nord. Ensuite, nous estimons un modèle des cycles réels pour essayer de reproduire les faits stylisés de ces pays, mais aussi pour évaluer la performance de ces modèles néoclassiques augmentés de deux types de chocs de productivité transitoire et permanent. Ceci fait l’objet du chapitre 2 dont le résultat est en faveur de l'hypothèse "Le cycle c'est la tendance" . Le deuxième aspect porte sur l’importance des frictions financières, il est traité dans le troisième chapitre qui introduit des chocs financiers au modèle de croissance stochastique. Nous identifions le rôle des frictions financières dans l’économie tunisienne comme étant un amplificateur de l’effet des chocs de productivité. Le quatrième chapitre porte sur l'analyse de la politique monétaire. Premièrement, nous examinons le régime de ciblage d’inflation où nos résultats empiriques supportent une implémentation de la stricte version du ciblage d’inflation avec une fonction de réaction basée sur des prévisions de l'inflation. Deuxièmement, nous exploitant les règles monétaires optimales en présence de la rigidité d l'information dans le cadre d’un modèle stochastique d’équilibre général (DSGE). Nos résultats, révèlent que les chocs du taux de marge de la force de travail jouent un rôle important dans les fluctuations de l’économie tunisienne, la règle de Taylor produit un taux satisfaisant de bien être, alors que les règles qui ciblent le niveau de prix ne sont pas efficaces. / This thesis investigates different aspects of the fluctuations in emerging economies. First, it examines the MENA countries’ context to establish the empirical regularities. Then, to replicate the MENA countries’ business cycle patterns observed in the annual data, we estimate a standard real business cycle (RBC) model to assess the performance of the neoclassical model with transitory and permanent shocks. This is the purpose of chapter 2 which results support the assumption "The cycle is the trend". The second aspect refers to the importance of financial frictions and is addressed in the third chapter which adds new financial shocks to the stochastic growth model. We determine the role of financial frictions in the Tunisian economy not as the source of business cycle fluctuations but as an amplifier of the effects of total factor of productivity shocks.The fourth chapter analyzes monetary policy in emerging economies. Firstly, we examine the inflation targeting regime under the lens of a New Keynesian forward-looking model. We also, estimate a Taylor rule and some other alternatives in order to determine which rule to adopt within this framework. Empirical results support the implementation of a strict inflation targeting regime, with an inflation forecast based rule as a reaction function. Secondly, we explore the optimal monetary policy rules using a New Keynesian DSGE model. In particular we assume that information stickiness as the only type of rigidity in the model. We find that Whereas, Taylor rule in its original version provides substantial welfare gains, price-level targeting regime was suboptimal.

Os efeitos do crédito direcionado na suavização de choques financeiros e nas decisões de política monetária e macroprudencial / The effects of earmarked credit on the smoothing of financial shocks and on the decisions of monetary and macroprudential policiesRosignoli, Matheus Rocha 30 October 2015 (has links)
Este trabalho faz uso de um modelo DSGE com fricções financeiras para analisar as consequências da existência de uma modalidade subsidiada de crédito para a recuperação da economia frente a choques. Os resultados indicam que o crédito subsidiado auxilia a mitigar os efeitos de choques que incidem especificamente sobre o mercado de crédito, como é o caso de choques financeiros ou de política macroprudencial. As respostas das principais variáveis da economia a esses choques se tornam menos intensas e duradouras. Para o caso de choque de política monetária, entretanto, a presença do crédito subsidiado não altera de forma significativa as respostas de variáveis reais, como consumo e investimento. / This paper uses a DSGE model with financial frictions to analyze the consequences of the existence of a subsidized credit line for the recovery of the economy against shocks. The results indicate that the subsidized credit helps to mitigate the effects of shocks that are specifically related to the credit market, as in the case of financial shocks or macroprudential policy shocks. The responses of the main variables of the economy to these shocks become shorter and less intense. In the case of monetary policy shock, however, the presence of subsidized credit does not change significantly the responses of real variables, such as consumption and investment.

« Pass-through » du taux de change et politique monétaire : application pour la zone Euro. / Exchange rate pass-through into import prices and monetary policy : application for the Euro areaRazafindrabe, Tovonony 28 February 2013 (has links)
La thèse explore la transmission des variations du taux de change aux prix d’importation, un phénomène que l’on appelle « pass-through » du taux de change. Ce dernier a été et sera au centre des débats économiques, plus particulièrement en ce qui concerne la politique monétaire, car elle conditionne la propagation des différents chocs au niveau international. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons des données individuelles sur les firmes importatrices françaises qui nous ont été fournies à titre confidentiel par l’Institut National de la statistique et des Études Économiques (INSEE) ainsi que de nouveaux indices de prix à l’importation, et non des indices de valeur unitaire, pour plusieurs pays de la zone Euro. A travers différentes approches, à la fois empirique et théorique, nous avançons quelques faits stylisés concernant les prix à l’importation et trouvons que le pass-through du taux de change est incomplet à court terme et complet à long terme. La transmission incomplète à court terme est surtout liée à l’existence du phénomène de rigidité nominale. De plus, nous montrons l’important rôle que joue la monnaie de facturation dans l’étendue du pass-through. En termes de politique monétaire, et à travers un modèle DSGE multi-pays, nous avançons que la rigidité nominale implique que l’impact d’une variation du taux de change sur la variation du prix à l’importation est faible et persistent. Combiné avec l’existence d’un biais de consommation de biens domestiques, l’impact sur la variation du prix à la consommation est fortement réduit, permettant ainsi aux autorités monétaires de poursuivre une politique de stabilisation de l’inflation avec peu d’action. D’autant plus que la stabilisation de l’écart à la loi du prix unique ne peut se faire qu’au détriment de l’écart de production. / The thesis explores the transmission of exchange rate movements into import prices, the phenomenon known as “exchange rate pass-through”. This phenomenon is at the heart of open macroeconomics. For policy makers, it is an important issue when making appropriate decisions in terms of economic policy (in particular monetary policy and exchange rate regime). Analysis of the exchange rate pass-through is conducted using unpublished micro-data of import prices made available to us by the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic studies (INSEE) and new database of actual import price data, and not unit value indices, for several Euro-area countries. Using different both empirical and theoretical approaches, we provide some new stylized facts on import prices and show evidence in favor of incomplete pass-through in the short run but complete at the long run. Mainly, we argue that incomplete pass-through is the result of nominal import price rigidity. Moreover, we show the important role of the currency invoicing strategy of firms in determining the extent of exchange rate pass-through. In terms of monetary policy, we argue using a multi-country DSGE model, that nominal rigidity induces a persistent but lower impact of the exchange rate changes on import price inflation, which combined with the home consumption bias imply that the monetary authority could pursue a stable inflation target with less action. This is reinforced by the trade-off between output and law of one price gap stabilization generated by the new independent channel of monetary policy arising from incomplete ERPT assumption.
