- Title
Differential Information and the Role for an Active Stabilization Policy.
- Authors
Andersen, Torben M.
- Abstract
The paper considers the possibility of pursuing a systematic monetary policy to overcome the coordination problems arising when agents have differential information. It is shown that a monetary feedback rule involving current feedback but no prospective feedback can eliminate the information problem making the implications of the differential information immaterial for real allocations. The paper also considers a private indexation scheme as a substitute for monetary policy, and it is shown that these differ since indexation on currently known variables is neutral. Indexation of a prospective nature is, however, equivalent to a prospective feedback to the money supply.
