摘要
This paper presents a model of dynamically consistent monetary policy that explains changes in inflation over time. In the model - as in the postwar United States - adverse supply shocks trigger increases in inflation. High inflation persists until a tough policy-maker causes a recession to disinflate. The paper also proposes an approach to selecting a unique equilibrium in infinite-horizon models of monetary policy.
