Abstract

summary: this paper contends that even if the rational-expectations hypothesis and the natural-rate hypothesis both hold, systematic monetary policy may nevertheless be able to influence output and employment, provided that the relation between the money supply and the price level is nonlinear. such a nonlinear relation is suggested by a variety of theoretical considerations. the paper contains a well known macroeconomic model in which this nonlinearity occurs. in this context, it is shown how systematic monetary policy is able to manipulate output and employment in accordance with predetermined policy goals.;
