Article Abstract:

Algorithms that solve for optimal simple monetary policy rules in rational expectations models are presented. A comparative study of the model with precommitment and discretion showed that time-inconsistency did not affect economic outcomes in the Rudebusch model, but was important in Fuhrer-Moore model.
