description | A dynamic equilibrium model is constructed to analyse the implications of different degrees of central bank independence. In the main model, agents are permitted to vote on the desired inflation and labour taxes to finance government spending. Multiple perfect-foresight equilibria arise, and one of them exhibits fluctuations in output, investment, and the inflation rates as a result of permitting agents to vote. If, instead of having agents vote each period on these parameters, inflation and labour taxes in the model are set at fixed levels, these fluctuations do not arise, and a lower inflation rate can appear. /// Une analyse d'équilibre de l'indépendance de la banque centrale et de l'inflation. L'auteur utilise un modèle dynamique d'équilibre pour analyser les implications découlant de divers degrés d'indépendance de la banque centrale. Dans le modèle principal, on permet aux agents de voter sur le degré d'inflation et sur les impôts sur le travail qu'on désire pour financer les dépenses du gouvernement. Des équilibres multiples émergent quand il y prévision parfaite, et l'un de ces équilibres montre des fluctuations dans le niveau de production, d'investissement, et dans les taux d'inflation qui résultent du fait qu'on permet aux agents de voter. Si plutôt que d'avoir un vote à chaque période sur ces paramètres, le niveau d'inflation et des impôts sur le travail sont définis à des barèmes fixes, ces fluctuations ne se produisent pas, et un taux d'inflation plus bas peut apparaître. |
