TY - JOUR TI - Monetary Policy in Open Economies T2 - European Economic Review IS - 6 KW - exchange rate systems KW - imperfect information KW - monetary policy KW - nominal rigidity KW - монетарная политика AB - The recent literature on monetary policy in open economies has produced a strong presumption in favor of activistic policy and flexible exchange rates. We argue that this result may owe much to the combination of two commonly made assumptions: That nominal goods prices are rigid. And that the monetary authorities have a lot of information about the economy. When the source of nominal rigidity is found in wages and monetary policy is conducted according to less information demanding rules (such as a standard interest rate rule) policies that stabilize the money supply or the nominal exchange rate may perform better AU - Dellas, Harris UR - http://ecsocman.hse.ru/text/19081545/ PY - 2006 SP - 1471-1486 M2 - 1471 VL - 50 SN - N1 - LA - EN CY - PB - M3 - LB - VL - ER -
