Abstract

High degrees of relative risk aversion induce indeterminacy in cash- in-advance economies. This paper finds that Taylor-style policies can pre-empt such sunspot equilibria. Specific policy recommendations depend on the fundamentals of the economy, i.e. the empirically true value of coecient of relative risk aversion.
