Abstract

This note analytically characterizes the equilibrium dynamics of the Sidrauski model and reaches three conclusions regarding monetary policy: (i) it is typically not neutral, (ii) in some cases, it is not neutral even in the steady state, and (iii) a policy that has the nominal interest rate falling over time may sustain higher output and consumption forever.
