Monetary policy model challenges traditional economic stability strategies.
The article explores whether inflation targeting works with Post Keynesian economics by looking at how manipulating interest rates can affect inflation. The researchers use a model that considers the cost channel of monetary policy, which is often overlooked in mainstream economics. They find that the type of Phillips curve used in the model has a bigger impact on macroeconomic stability than the cost channel itself. This suggests that traditional policy approaches may not be the best for stabilizing the economy in a monetary-production system.
