Monetary policy, nominal anchors, price-level stabilisationAbstract
Volatility of the general price level has long been an issue of concern and debate in economics and government policies. Periods of price-level instability have stimulated proposals for monetary reform aimed either at price-level stabilisation or mitigating the adverse effects of price-level instability. The nominal anchor issue refers to the orientation of monetary policy towards the goal of providing a stable price level.
