Description
This paper analyses two central elements of the ECB’s 2021 monetary policy strategy review in an estimated open-economy structural macroeconomic (DSGE) model of the euro area: (1) explicit symmetry of the 2% inflation target, and (2) commitment to persistent monetary accommodation when interest rate are close to the lower bound. Both elements are found to increase the room for manoeuvre of monetary policy in a low-rate environment and do not impede the decisive response to inflationary shocks.
