Abstract

This paper describes a simple general equilibrium model in which a permanent easing of monetary policy, engineered via open market purchases, may produce a permanent decrease in the real interest rate and a permanent increase in the inflation rate. Under somewhat stronger assumptions, the nominal interest rate may also decline.
