The Optimal Inflation Rate in New Keynesian Models: Should Central Banks Raise Their Inflation Targets in Light of the Zero Lower Bound? (2012, methodology): “Because our model is that of a cashless economy, this cost of inflation is absent, but would tend to lower the optimal rate of inflation even further, as emphasized by Khan, King and Wolman (2003), Schmitt-Grohe and Uribe (2007, 2010) and Aruoba and Schorfheide (2011).”
The Macroeconomics of Trend Inflation (2014, background): “Stock and Watson (2007) provide evidence that the dynamics of inflation have been largely dominated by the trend component. Their analysis focuses on the forecastability of inflation. They use a split-sample analysis, in which the split is set around the beginning of the second term of Volcker’s cha”
Optimal Monetary Stabilization Policy (2010, background): “37) around the steady-state values of all variables, and finding a bounded solution of the resulting system of linear equations.(56) Let us begin with the implications of the linearized structural relations.”
Is there a trade-off between inflation and output stabilization? (2013, background): “This indexation scheme implies no price dispersion in steady state: Therefore, the level of is inconsequential for welfare, which allows us to abstract from the challenging question of the optimal level of in ation (see Schmitt-Grohe and Uribe (2010) for a recent survey.)”
