摘要:The paper considers optimal monetary stabilization policy in a forward-
looking model, when the central bank recognizes that private-sector expecta-
tions need not be precisely model-consistent, and wishes to choose a policy that
will be as good as possible in the case of any beliefs that are close enough to
model-consistency. It is found that commitment continues to be important for
optimal policy, that the optimal long-run in°ation target is una®ected by the
degree of potential distortion of beliefs, and that optimal policy is even more
history-dependent than if rational expectations are assumed.
