Abstract

We develop a model economy with active financial markets, in which the policymaker's adoption of a gradualistic approach is a Bayesian Nash equilibrium. In addition to its financing role, the financial market also creates a channel for information revelation, encouraging the policymaker to take small policy steps. Smaller policy steps lead to more precise information about the productivity shock. Acquiring more information - both on the extensive margin and the intensive margin - provides sufficient incentives for the policymaker to consistently follow the gradualistic approach. This result holds robust for both exogenous and endogenous information models.
