The zero bound on interest rates and optimal
Countries rarely hit the zero lower bound (ZLB) on interest rates, but when We discuss what different calibrations of this model imply for optimal inflation rates. too small to entail zero nominal interest rates, shocks affecting the natural real interest rate plausibly lead to a binding lower bound. Under optimal policy Abstract. The zero lower bound (ZLB) irrelevance hypothesis implies that the ing that the responses of output, inflation and the long-term interest rate were the determination of the optimal inflation rate in the presence of the ZLB constraint,. 8 Feb 2017 Abstract. The canonical New Keynesian model features a zero lower bound on the interest rate. In the simple setting of this paper, where 30 Sep 2013 Breaking Through the Zero Lower Bound and Electronic Money: The AEA What is the Effective Lower Bound on Interest Rates Made Of? Optimal Monetary Policy: Could the Next Big Idea Come from the Blogosphere?
Nonetheless, a credible commitment to the right sort of history-dependent policy can largely mitigate the distortions created by the zero bound. In our model, optimal policy involves a commitment to adjust interest rates so as to achieve a time-varying price-level target, when this is consistent with the zero bound.

The Zero Bound on Interest Rates and Optimal Monetary Policy Gauti B. Eggertsson and Michael Woodford The consequences for the proper conduct of monetary policy of the existence of a lower bound of zero for overnight nominal interest rates has recently become a topic of lively interest. The presence of a zero lower bound on nominal interest rates and the implications of this bound for unconventional monetary policy is another source of nonlinearity among inflation, employment and of the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates for the optimal conduct of monetary policy, in the context of an explicitly intertemporal equilib- rium model of the monetary transmission What is a Zero-Bound Interest Rate Zero-bound interest rate is a reference to the lower limit of 0% for short-term interest rates beyond which monetary policy is not believed to be effective in Zero-bound refers to the lowest level that interest rates can fall to, and logic dictates that zero would be that level. There are instances where negative rates have been implemented during normal times. Switzerland is one such example; as of mid-2019 their target interest rate is -0.75%. 2003 Reports.

Nominal interest rates were at zero lower bound in the recent past in many countries across the globe, including the USA and Japan.1 It has been widely debated real exchange rate gap. As a result of these adverse effects, optimal monetary policy, both with and without commitment, keeps nominal interest rates at zero for
