Monetary policy as a process of search
Article Abstract:
The method used by policy makers to find the most suitable monetary policy is examined in the context of a monetary authority that is reducing interest rates in an attempt to stop a recession without starting inflation. Findings indicate that slight decreases in interest rates are unlikely to initiate a response. Further reductions are then imposed. This creates a vicious circle in which investments are delayed because of the expectation that the policy will not succeed.
