Article Abstract:

Optimal learning by a Central Bank that is doubtful about the natural rate of unemployment and the Phillips Curve slope is analyzed. To stabilize output and inflation, the Central Bank must balance the short-term gains of behaving optimally or initiating actions that are presently sub-optimal but which provide new information that improve future performance. Based on findings on dynamic programming from previous research however, the analysis has demonstrated that when a Central Bank must balance optimization and learning, there is no guarantee that it will find out the true nature of the data-generating processes of the economy.
