摘要:We examine the performance of forward-looking in°ation-forecast-based rules in open economies. In a New Keynesian two-bloc model, a methodology ¯rst employed by Batini and Pearlman (2002) is used to obtain analytically the feedback parameters/horizon pairs associated with unique and stable equi- libria. Three key ¯ndings emerge: ¯rst, indeterminacy occurs for any value of the feedback parameter on in°ation if the forecast horizon lies too far into the future. Second, the problem of indeterminacy is intrinsically more serious in the open economy. Third, the problem is compounded further in the open economy when central banks respond to expected consumer, rather than pro- ducer price in°ation
