Abstract

Recent models of monetary policy have analysed the desirability of different optimal and ad hoc interest-rate rules under the restrictive assumption that forecasts of the private sector and central bank are homogeneous. In this paper, we study from a learning perspective the implications of heterogeneity across forecasts by the central bank and private agents for the performance of interest-rate rules.
