Crucial issues concerning central bank independence

Article Abstract:

Financials institutions, particularly central banks and other central bank-plus government entities, are incapable of coping with excessive inflation rate under the absence of a technology for inescapably precommitting future actions. Moreover, contracting devices or incentive arrangements do not deter the motivation for dynamic inconsistency, but rather relocates it to a different place. Central banks need to capitalize on other issues of practical importance, such as contract and charter designs, in addition to prevention of inflation.

The study aims to create desirable results from the use of NIT in the context of a quantitative macroeconomic model.
