摘要:We adapt the (Sidrauski, 1967) monetary model to study the hypothesis of an- ticipation of future consumption. We assume that anticipation of future con- sumption aects an agent's instantaneous utility and that all eects of future consumption on current wellbeing are captured by the stock of future consump- tion. Monetary policy eectiveness is thereby reduced and a zero nominal lower interest rate (and thus the Friedman Rule) is destabilizing. Given this, we can derive a \just stable" equilibrium nominal interest rate with matching deni- tions for in
ation and monetary growth. We demonstrate that these implied lower bounds match their historical analogues well.
