Mardi | 2014-05-13 Salle des thèses Jean-Bernard CHATELAIN – Kirsten RALF This paper investigates the identification, the determinacy and the stability of ad hoc, ”quasi-optimal” and optimal policy rules augmented with financial stability indicators (such as asset prices deviations from their fundamental values) and minimizing the volatility of the policy interest rates, when the central bank precommits to financial stability. Firstly, ad hoc and quasi optimal rules parameters of financial stability indicators cannot be identified. For those rules, non zero […]

We find that there is a high probability of stabilizing public debt at its 2014 level conditional on achieving an increased GDP growth […]
