| Tiivistelmä: | This paper investigates the desirability of adopting a rule in favour of discretionary monetary policy in a model exhibiting Kydland and Prescott's dynamic inconsistency problem but no fundamental incompatibility btw. the policymaker's price stability and full employment objectives. It is shown that if discretion provides a policy flexibility benefit, then a rule is optimal only when inflation exceeds an endogenously determined threshold. |
