AV - HG230.3 .I44 2005 U1 - 332.4'6 22 PY - 2005/// CY - Cambridge, UK, New York PB - Cambridge University Press KW - Monetary policy N1 - Includes bibliographical references (p. 122-135) and index N2 - This book discusses the problem of formulating monetary policy in practice, under the uncertain circumstances which characterize the real world. It further explores the implications of a simple model where the policy maker has imperfect knowledge about potential output and the private sector forms expectations according to adaptive learning. The book shows that imperfect knowledge limits the scope for active stabilization policy and strengthens the case for conservation.
