Abstract

We prove that the Generalized Taylor Principle, under which the nominal interest rate reacts more than one-for-one to a change in inflation in the long run, is a necessary and (under some extra mild restrictions on parameters) sufficient condition for determinacy in a sticky price model with interest rate smoothing in monetary policy, partial dynamic price indexation, and habit formation in consumption.
