History-dependent monetary policy: a lab experiment and a HENK model

Jasmina Arifovic, Isabelle Salle, Hung Truong

Short summary

Price-level targeting (PLT) is theoretically optimal but not implemented; this study shows it fails to reduce volatility vs. inflation targeting (IT) without explicit inflation guidance, even in a sophisticated model, because agents cannot learn the history-dependent path.
