| Sumario: | There is a recent debate about whether monetary policy is no longer ef-
fective in stimulating demand, a concern often voiced in the euro area. As
a response, the ECB warns against \talking down monetary policy" (ECB
Vice-President Vitor Constancio, 2016). This note uses a textbook model of optimal monetary policy to study a situation in which the public misperceives
the interest rate elasticity of aggregate demand, which reflects policy effectiveness. We show that as a result of underestimating policy effectiveness demand shocks can no longer be stabilized perfectly, thus resulting in ineffcient inflation and output dynamics. In the presence of misperceptions, a negative demand shocks leads to a prolonged period of negative in
ation rates. |
