Zero-bound interest rate is a reference to the lower limit of 0% for short-term interest rates beyond which monetary policy is not believed to be effective in stimulating economic growth. Overview. Under ZIRP, the central bank maintains a 0% nominal interest rate.The ZIRP is an important milestone in monetary policy because the central bank is typically no longer able to reduce nominal interest rates—it is at the zero lower bound. Conventional monetary policy is at its maximum potential to drive growth under ZIRP. A zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) is when a central bank sets its target short-term interest rate at or close to 0%. of optimal monetary policy changes as a result of the existence of the zero bound, relative to the policy rules that would be judged optimal in the absence of such a bound, or in the case of real disturbances small enough for the bound never to matter under an optimal policy. Downloadable! This paper considers the consequences for monetary policy of the zero floor for nominal interest rates. The zero bound can be a significant constraint on the ability of a central bank to combat deflation. The paper shows, in the context of an intertemporal equilibrium model, that open-market operations, even of "unconventional" types, are ineffective if future policy is expected The Zero Bound on Interest Rates and Optimal Monetary Policy Gauti B. Eggertsson and Michael Woodford The consequences for the proper conduct of monetary policy of the existence of a lower bound of zero for overnight nominal interest rates has recently become a topic of lively interest. We investigate open economy dimensions of optimal monetary and fiscal policy at the zero lower bound (ZLB) in a small open economy model. At positive interest rates, the trade elasticity has
Monetary policy went full tilt, cutting interest rates rapidly to zero, where they is a function that gives the optimal nominal rate whenever the zero-bound is not

The consequences for the proper conduct of monetary policy of the existence of a lower bound of zero for overnight nominal interest rates has recently become a topic of lively interest. Optimal Monetary Policy at the Zero-Interest-Rate Bound Taehun Jung We find that the optimal path is characterized by policy inertia, in the sense that a zero interest rate policy should be continued for a while even after the natural rate of interest returns to a positive level. By making such a commitment, the central bank is able to
What should a central bank do when faced with a weak aggregate demand even after reducing the short-term nominal interest rate to zero? To address this question, we solve a central bank's intertemporal loss-minimization problem, in which the non-negativity constraint on nominal interest rates is explicitly considered. We find that the optimal path is characterized by policy inertia, in the
