Abstract

[eng] The optimal exercice of the instruments. of monetary policy under flexible exchange rates. . Suppose the monetary authorities have two targets, one for output and one for the price level, and they need to set the values of two instruments in order simultaneously to attain both targets. Their three possible choices of instruments are (1) the quantity of money and the exchange rate, (2) the quantity of money and the interest rate on non-traded debt, and (3) this last interest rate and the exchange rate. As in Poole's presentation, stochastic elements provide a basis for the choice. Because of the price level objective, thé ground for the exercise of the monetary instrument is wider than in Poole's model. On the other hand, a short-term preoccupation will tend to make the authorities shy away from the monetary instrument ; so will the présence of major access to the discount desk. [fre] On suppose que les autorités monétaires poursuivent à la fois un objectif de pro­duction et un objectif de prix, et qu'elles doivent régler les valeurs de deux instru­ments afin d'atteindre ces deux objectifs. Les deux instruments sont soit la masse monétaire et le taux de change, soit la masse monétaire et le taux d'intérêt sur les titres non échangés, soit ce dernier taux et le taux de change. Suivant Poole, la présence d'éléments stochastiques permet ce choix. Ici la prise en compte de la cible de prix élargit la base pour l'usage de l'instrument monétaire. En outre, dans une perspective de court terme les autorités ont tendance à rejeter l'instrument monétaire ; un recours important au refinancement les incite plutôt à faire ce même choix.
