本文认为,首先,这是不恰当的假设,中央银行将,在没有任何有形的预承诺技术,不可避免地表现在一个“自由裁量”的方式,这意味着通货膨胀的偏见。此外,“灵活性和承诺”之间没有必要权衡。第二,在某种程度上,缺乏任何预先承诺技术仍然是一个问题,它将适用于一个合并的中央银行加政府实体,以及中央银行单独。因此,政府和中央银行之间的合同并没有克服动态不一致的动机,他们只是重新定位它。
This paper argues, first, that it is inappropriate to presume that central banks will, in the absence of any tangible precommitment technology, inevitably behave in a ‘discretionary’ fashion that implies an inflationary bias. Furthermore, there is no necessary tradeoff between ‘flexibility and commitment’. Second, to the extent that the absence of any precommitment technology is nevertheless a problem, it will apply to a consolidated central bank-plus-government entity as well as to the central bank alone. Thus, contracts between governments and central banks do not overcome the motivation for dynamic inconsistency, they merely relocate it. Several implications are discussed.
