Working Paper
Monetary policy in a low inflation economy with learning
Williams, John C. (2006)
In theory, monetary policies that target the price level, as opposed to the inflation rate, should be highly effective at stabilizing the economy and avoiding deflation in the presence of the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates. With such a policy, if the short-term interest rate is constrained at zero and the inflation rate declines below its trend, the public expects that policy will eventually engineer a period of above-trend inflation that restores the price level to its target level. Expectations of future monetary accommodation stimulate output and inflation today, mitigating the ...

Journal Article
Simple rules for monetary policy
Williams, John C. (2003)
How effective are "simple" monetary policy rules at stabilizing the economy? This paper explores the characteristics and performance of monetary policy rules designed to minimize fluctuations in inflation, output, and interest rates using the Federal Reserve Board's large-scale FRB/US macroeconometric model. I find that a smoothed measure of inflation, the output gap, and the lagged funds rate are sufficient statistics for the setting of monetary policy. Efficient simple rules that respond to these three variables perform nearly as well as fully optimal policies that respond to the hundreds ...

Working Paper
Have we underestimated the likelihood and severity of zero lower bound events?
Williams, John C.; Reifschneider, David L.; Laforte, Jean-Philippe; Chung, Hess T. (2011)
Before the recent recession, the consensus among researchers was that the zero lower bound (ZLB) probably would not pose a significant problem for monetary policy as long as a central bank aimed for an inflation rate of about 2 percent; some have even argued that an appreciably lower target inflation rate would pose no problems. This paper reexamines this consensus in the wake of the financial crisis, which has seen policy rates at their effective lower bound for more than two years in the United States and Japan and near zero in many other countries. We conduct our analysis using a set of ...
