Thezerolowerboundforinterestrates(ZLB) i t Money demand Money supply i t 0 M S t /P t M S t /P t M t /P t Given money-demand curve, CB controls i t by setting money supply Mt s. Increasing Mt s lowers i t. But i t can only be lowered to 0. Increasing Mt s beyond that point has no effect on i t (excess liquidity). Zero lower bound for (nominal interest rates) (ZLB): i t 0 ()
2 A forward-looking aggregate-demand relation Intertemporal consumption choice, representative consumer Two periods, and (each period may be a few years long) C t consumption in period t, t =, W wealth in period, r real interest rate between period and W C wealth in period after consumption in period, invested in period, and consumed with interest in period. Intertemporal budget constraint C = (+r )(W C ) = (+r )W ( + r )C Maximize utility subject to this budget constraint max (C,C ) U(C,C ) 3 C Slope =+ r C Slope = C C C C Slope = C < C Slope =+ r <+ r C U(C,C ) = U > U U(C,C ) = U 0 C C C 4
3 Relation C,C,r : C /C increasing in r C increasing in C, decreasing in r Simplification C = C ar Consider the economy in period, period expected (a>0) Y t,outputinperiodt, determined by (consumption) demand Y t = C t (t =, ) Y e, output in period expected in period Ȳ e > 0, potential output in period expected in period (exogenous) Assumption: Future output expected to equal future potential output (no LT in future) Aggregate-demand relation in period Y e = Ȳ e. Y = Ȳ e ar () 5 The neutral/natural (Wicksellian) (real) interest rate Neutral/natural (Wicksellian) real interest rate in period, r : The real interest rate at which Y equals potential output in period, Ȳ > 0 (exogenous) r a (Ȳ e Ȳ) r increasing in expected potential output growth Specify output gap. Subtract (3) from () Ȳ Ȳ e a r (3) Y Ȳ = a(r r ) Define output gap Aggregate-demand relation: r r (real) interest rate gap y Y Ȳ Ȳ σ ā Y > 0 y = σ(r r ) (4) 6
4 π inflation in period (between period and ) P t price level in period t (t =, ) π e inflation in period expected in period P e price level in period expected in period Specify real and nominal interest rate: Combine (4), (5) and ZLB π P P P π e P e P P r i π e (5) y = σ[i π e r ] = σi + σ(π e + r ) σ(π e + r ) For given π e, ZLB implies upper bound for y. Low r (because of low Ȳ e Ȳ) implies stricter upper bound. 7 Simple forward-looking price-setting behavior Price setting (simplification): n identical firms, indexed j =,..., n, sets individual price for period, P j, one period in advance (hence in period ) according to expectations P e of aggregate price level in period : P j = P e (j =,..., n) Actual price level in period : Hence, P n nx j= P j, P = P e Price level in period determined by expectations in period Inflation in period determined by expectations in period π = π e Price level in period, P, given in period (determined by expectations in period 0) 8
5 Optimal policy w/o liquidity trap Loss function for monetary policy in period (δ =) Ideal equilibrium Possible if L =(π π ) + λy y = 0 π = π r = r i = r + π e 0 = π π e r + π 0 r π 9 A liquidity trap (LT) Suppose that inflation expectations equal inflation target (good credibility), but suppose low r, such that π e = π, r + π < 0 r < π Liquidity trap (LT): r higher than r (recession) when π e = π, even though i =0. Happens when r too low. r = i π e =0 π > r Then, y = σ(r r ) < 0 0
6 Optimal policy w/ liquidity trap Best tradeoff between π and y (when CB can choose π = π e freely): Set i =0 y = σ(π + r ) (6) Temporarily treat π as control variable, to determine optimal policy 0 = L π = (π π )+λy y π = (π π )+λσy Targeting rule in LT: π π = λσy (7) Optimal policy (use (6) in (7)) π π = λσ[σ(π + r )] π π = λσ [(π π )+( r + π )] ( + λσ )(π π ) = λσ ( r + π ) π π λσ +λσ ( r + π ) y = λσ (π π ) σ = +λσ ( r + π ) Optimal inflation π,outputgapỹ, interest rate ĩ : π π λσ +λσ ( r + π ) > 0, σ ỹ +λσ ( r + π ) < 0, ĩ = 0. Overshoot inflation target in period, reduce recession in period
7 π y = σi + σ( π + r ) π * ( y, π ) σi 0 σ r y y = σπ ( + r) 3 π π * σi = σ( r + π*) 0 σ r y y = σπ ( + r) 4
8 Targeting rule π * π = λσy π B O π π * y = σπ ( + r) π = πe = π* σr σr < σπ* y = σπ* 0 y B bad equilibrium in LT, π = π e = π, deeper recession, y < ỹ < 0 O optimal equilibrium in LT, π = π >π, y =ỹ < 0 5 Credibility problems Solution to LT: Increase inflation expectations (Krugman 98) How to increase inflation expectations from π e = π to π e = π? (Reverse) credibility problem, not easy, especially for CB with reputation for low inflation (low π ) (Krugman 98) Promise high money supply in period? No liquidity trap expected for period : i e > 0 Then P e M e Problem: No commitment mechanism, no way to commit to high future money supply Cf. Japan, quantitative easing, monetary base up 60%+ since March 00 No indication of inflation expectations (exchange rate depreciation, long interest rates) Private sector obviously expects future money supply to be contracted 6
9 Open-economy issues Useexchangerate(FoolproofWay,FPW) Assumption (simplification): Uncovered interest rate parity (UIP) +i =(+i ) Se S S exchange rate =Y/$ in period ; S e exchange rate =Y/$ in period, expected in period i home (Japan) interest rate between period and i foreign (US) interest rate between period and Investment strategy : =Y in period, invest at home (Japan), =Y( + i ) in period Investment strategy : =Y in period, exchangeto$/s,investintheus,$( + i )/S in period, expect to exchange to =YS ( e + i )/S. Same expected return, implies UIP 7 Assumption (simplification): Expected medium-run Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) P e = P e S e P e period- price level (CPI or GDP deflator) in Japan (in =Y),expectedinperiod P e period- price level (CPI or GDP deflator) in the US (in $), expected in period (Simplification, disregard covariance terms) Liquidity trap in Japan, i =0 S =(+i )S e =(+i ) P e P e Assume i and P e (US period- interest rate and expected period- price level) independent of Japan S proportional to P e. 8
10 TheFoolproofWaytoescapefromaliquiditytrap(FPW). Price-level target: Announce temporary price level target P P ( + π ) >P ( + π ) If credible (P e = P ), yen will depreciate in period, S,so But just announcement may not be credible S = S ( + i ) P P e. Currency depreciation and peg: Depreciate and peg yen, so S = S. Best action in period to induce expectations P e 3. Exit strategy: In period, when P reaches P, float yen and switch to flexible inflation targeting 9
