Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Forward guidance has been suggested as a form of commitment (Odyssean) by the policymaker or as a way of conveying information (Delphic). I analyze the interaction between households and the central bank as a game in which the central bank sends messages. Without private information, the set of equilibrium payoffs is independent of any announcements: Pure Odyssean forward guidance is redundant. With private information, communication can have social value. Forward guidance is well suited to leverage preexisting credibility to communicate a central bank's private information about its own preferences or beliefs. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
