Stabilizing non-fundamental asset price movements under discretion and limited information
Article Abstract:
A good monetary policy balances inflation and output, and maintains the interest rates at a stable level. An analysis of a situation where the asset prices are driven by irrational expectations of the financial markets is presented. Under such circumstances, the investments in markets become inefficient, which can defeat the very purpose of the monetary policy, forcing the central banks to take corrective measures.
