In 1978 Guillermo Calvo published the paper “On the Time Consistency of Optimal Policy in a Monetary Economy”. This paper shows how a conflict between the interests of the current government with those of a future government, both of which share the same objective of maximizing social welfare, gives rise to a credibility problem.
On February 22 to 24, join us in celebrating the 45th anniversary of the publication of this paper and Guillermo Calvo's commitment in economic development and research. The Conference will be in person at FRBNY and Columbia and live-streamed online, and everyone is welcomed to join!
