Can the structure of asset markets change the way monetary policy should be conducted?Following a linear-quadratic approach, the present paper addresses this question in a NewKeynesian small open economy framework. Our results reveal that the configuration of assetmarkets significantly affects optimal monetary policy and the performance of standard policyrules. In particular, when comparing complete and incomplete markets, the ranking of policyrules is entirely reversed, and so are the policy prescriptions regarding the optimal level ofexchange rate volatility.
