Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate both the efficacy and the stability properties of monetary policy rules in presence of heterogeneous consumers. We aim to underline the link between the well- known Taylor Principle and the demand-policy regimes, defined on the basis of the monetary policy transmission mechanism. By developing an analytical analysis, we show that the transmission mechanism plays a key role on monetary efficacy and equilibrium determinacy.
