摘要:This paper studies the design of monetary policy in small open economies (SOE) with production networks and nominal rigidities. We show that the monetary policy fully stabilizing the aggregate output gap (namely, the OG policy) is close to the optimal monetary policy in terms of welfare, and can be implemented by targeting an OG inflation index that is a weighted average of domestic sectors' inflations. We analytically derive the weight of each sector in the OG index (namely, the OG weight) as a simple function of three centralities, i.e., the domestic supplier, customer, and net export centralities, which measure the importance of a domestic sector, both directly and indirectly via networks, as an input supplier for domestic consumption, as a user of domestic labor, and for net exports, respectively. Theoretically and quantitatively by calibrating the model to the World Input-Output Database, we obtain two important results on the OG policy: first, sectors with small domestic supplier centrality (e.g., those importing intensively or with intensively importing downstream sectors) have small OG weights; second, central bankers who treat the economy as closed over-emphasize sectors that have large export-to-sales ratio and are unimportant user of domestic labor, notably the export processing sectors.
