Using Monetary Policy to Stabilize Economic Activity
... Because movements in output gaps and cost shocks reflect transitory fluctuations, the unconditional expectation of the output gap is zero. Equation (2) then implies that E(pt–pT) = bE(pt +1-pT), where E denotes the unconditional expectations operator. Ruling out explosive paths for inflation, this c ...
