1 ONETARY OLICY IN THE INFINITE-ERIOD ECONOY: SHORT-RUN EFFECTS NOVEBER 6, 20 oneary olicy Analysis: Shor-Run Effecs IS ONETARY OLICY NEUTRAL? An enduring quesion in macroeconomics: does moneary policy have any imporan effecs on he real (i.e, real GD, consumpion, ec) economy? Definiion: oney (and hence moneary policy) is neural if changes in he money supply (i.e., changes in moneary policy) have no effec on he real economy oneary policy is non-neural if i does have effecs on he real economy New Keynesian view: money is non-neural (because prices are rigid/sicky, ofen for long periods of ime) RBC view: money is neural (because prices are no rigid/sicky in any imporan way) IU framework allows us o consider how/why moneary policy is or is no neural November 6, 20 2

A posiive (negaive) money shock leads o no change (no change) in c oney (and hence moneary policy) is neural Empirical evidence for how sicky are prices is very mixed November 6,
