''Calvo-type rules and the forward-looking behavior of inflation targeting central banks''
( 2013, Vol. 33 No.3 )
 
 
We estimate small open economy models in which inflation targeting central banks respond to a discounted infinite sum of expected inflation and output gaps (Calvo-type rules). The results support Calvo-type rules for Australia and Canada, and suggest longer targeting horizons for inflation compared with output gaps.
 
 
Keywords: Calvo-type rules, Bayesian estimation, inflation targeting
JEL: E5 - Monetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General
