1 The Zero Bound Based on work by: Eggertsson and Woodford, 2003, The Zero Interest Rate Bound and Optimal Monetary Policy, Brookings Panel on Economic Activity. Christiano, Eichenbaum, Rebelo, When is the Government Spending Multiplier Big? (JPE, 20)
2 Nonlinearity The New Keynesian model suggests that an economy may be vulnerable to welfarereducing volatility when the zero lower bound on the nominal interest rate is binding. Exploring this idea and what to do about it requires solving a non linear model. Will apply the Eggertsson Woodford approach Deterministic Shooting Algorithm. 2
3 The ZLB Analysis (Over) Simplified Identity: expenditures GDP If one group reduces spending, then GDP must fall unless another group increases. Another group increases if real rate drops: R e If R is at lower bound and e cannot rise, have a problem.
4 The ZLB Analysis, cnt d Several reasons e may not rise.all presume a lack of commitment in monetary policy Ex post, monetary authority would not deliver high inflation (Eggertsson). Real world monetary authorities spent years persuading people they would not use inflation to stabilize economy. Fears consequences of loss of credibility in case they now raise e for stabilization purposes. In the presence of commitment, ZLB not a big problem.
5 The ZLB Analysis (Over) Simplified Recession likely to follow, as real rate fails to drop. The recession could be very severe if a deflation spiral occurs. R e The decrease in spending leads to a fall in marginal cost, which makes firms cut prices. When there are price frictions, downward pressure on prices is manifest as a reduction in inflation. 5

19 The Whole Analysis, cnt d The preceding indicates that the drop in output might be substantial. Options for solving zlb problem Direct: by interrupting destructive deflation spiral, increase government spending may have a very large effect on output. Tax credits Investment tax credit cash for clunkers Increase anticipated inflation Convert to a VAT tax in the future (Feldstein, Correia Fahri Nicolini Teles). Don t: cut labor tax rate or subsidize employment (Eggertsson)
20 Outline Analysis in normal times when zlb constraint on interest rate can be ignored. Show that the government spending multiplier is fairly small. Analysis when zlb is binding. Government spending can have a big, welfareimproving impact on output. 20

37 Analysis of Case when the Nonnegativity Constraint on the Nominal Interest Rate is Binding Need a shock that puts us into the lower bound. One possibility: increased desire to save. Seems particularly relevant at the current time. Other shocks will do it too... Discount rate shock. 37

48 Fiscal Expansion in Zero Bound Highly Effective, But is it Desirable? Intuition: Yes. the vicious cycle produces a huge, inefficient fall in output in the first best equilibrium, output, consumption and employment are invariant to discount rate shocks If G helps to partially undo this inefficiency, then surely it s a good thing 48

54 Introducing Investment Inclusion of investment does not have a large, qualitative effect. Financial frictions could make things much worse. Deflation hurts net worth of investors with nominal debt, and this forces those agents to cut spending by more. 54
55 Conclusion of G Multiplier Analysis Government spending multiplier in a neighborhood of unity in normal times. Multiplier can be large when the zero bound is binding (because R constant then). Increase in G is welfare improving during lower bound crisis. Caveat: focused exclusively on multiplier Increasing G may be bad idea because hard to reverse. May be other ways of accomplishing similar thing (e.g., transition to VAT tax over time). 55
56 Can Zero Bound, in Conjunction with Other Shocks Account for Recent Data? Suppose that something (thing, x) happened in 2008Q3. Identify impulse response of economy to x by comparing what actually happened with forecast as of 2008Q2. Assume x is a shock to households desire to save (the saving rate did go up), and wedge in the rate of return on capital (spreads did go up). 56

78 Conclusion of Simulation Can account for dynamics of recent data as reflecting the operation of the zero bound and two particular shocks. Many people would expect this not to be possible. Mindful of the deflation spiral, they would anticipate that the drop in inflation would be too great. In fact, incorporate a very small slope to Phillips curve. However, prices sticky on average only a year. This reflects that capital is firm specific. A fully stochastic simulation, with non linear equilibrium conditions much more interesting. Method for dealing with occasionally binding constraints (Christiano Fisher, JEDC2000). See Adams Billie, Anton Braun, Villaverde Juan Rubio. 78
