It is thus optimal for agents to change prices by less under PT [price target]than under IT [inflation target]. This is the so-called "expectations channel." Smaller price changes lead to lower inflation volatility as well as to lower price dispersions. With this channel in operation, PT provides more room to optimally set the nominal interest rate to lower the distortion associated with nominal debts.This leads to lower volatility in the real interest rate. 1, record 2, English, - expectations%20channel

[...] la solution optimale pour les agents en régime de cibles de niveau des prixest de moins faire varier leurs prix. C'est ce qu'on appelle le «canal des anticipations». De plus petites variations des prix conduisent à une inflation moins volatile et à une moindre dispersion des prix. Lorsque ce canal est à l'œuvre, la poursuite d’une cible basée sur le niveau des prix offre plus de latitude pour fixer de manière optimale le taux d’intérêt nominal afin de réduire la distorsion associée aux créances nominales, d’où une variabilité plus faible du taux d’intérêt réel. 1, record 2, French, - canal%20des%20anticipations

An optimal monetary policy would be one that maximizes expected utility. But, recent literature on the analysis of monetary policy in sticky-price DGE [dynamicgeneral equilibrium] models has developed a more direct approach to the formulation of monetary policy objective functions. Goodfriend and King point out that, leaving out issues related to the Friedman rule (or, equivalently, assuming positive nominal interest rates), an optimal monetary policy should stabilize the markup of prices over marginal costs (real marginal cost). 1, record 6, English, - optimal%20monetary%20policy

La politique monétaire optimale est alors celle qui maximise l'espérance mathématique de cette utilité. Mais des auteurs ayant analysé récemment la politique monétaire au moyen de modèles ynamiques d’équilibre général à prix rigides ont élaboré une approche plus directe pour la formulation de la fonction objectif de la politique monétaire. Goodfriend et King soutiennent qu'abstraction faite des problèmes découlant de la règle de Friedman(en d’autres termes, si l'on suppose des taux d’intérêt nominaux positifs), la politique monétaire optimale devrait viser à stabiliser la marge qui est ajoutée au coût marginal(réel) pour obtenir le prix de vente [...] 1, record 6, French, - politique%20mon%C3%A9taire%20optimale
