Economics and Business Review, Vol. (5), No. 2, 205: 0 29 DOI: 0.8559/ebr.205.2.6 The analyics of he New Keynesian 3-equaion Model Jean-Chrisophe Pouineau 2, Karolina Sobczak 3, Gauhier Vermandel 4 Absrac : This paper aims a providing a self conained presenaion of he ideas and soluion procedure of New Keynesian Macroeconomics models. Using he benchmark 3 equaion model, we inroduce he reader o an inuiive, saic version of he model before incorporaing more echnical aspecs associaed wih he dynamic naure of he model. We hen discuss he relaive conribuion of supply, demand and policy shocks o he flucuaions of aciviy, inflaion and ineres rae, depending on he key underlying parameers of he economy.

Inroducion Keynesian ideas reurned o he forefron of academic research in he mid 90 s in new clohes o address quesions relaed o unemploymen, economic flucuaions and inflaion. This followed a weny year period ha winessed he dominaion of new classical ideas on boh moneary and real macroeconomics quesions. Before conribuing o he building of wha is now considered as he workhouse of modern macroeconomics [Carlin and Soskice 204], he New Keynesian School proposed in he 80 s a series of models aimed a providing microeconomic foundaions o price and/or wage rigidiy 5 and a showing Aricle received 5 April 204, acceped 9 February 205. 2 CREM-CNRS, Universiy of Rennes, Faculy of Economics, 7 place Hoche, 35065 Rennes cedex, France, corresponding auhor: jean-chrisophe.pouineau@univ-rennes.fr. 3 Poznań Universiy of Economics, Deparmen of Mahemaical Economy, Poznań, Poland. 4 CREM-CNRS, Universiy of Rennes, Faculy of Economics, Rennes, France. 5 On New Keynesianism, is hisory, developmen and significance for modern economics, see for example Bludnik [2009] or Romer [993].

J.-C. Pouineau, K. Sobczak, G. Vermandel, The analyics of he New Keynesian ha his key feaure of he real world can be explained in a seing wih opimizing agens wih marke power. An imporan breakhrough was abou 5 years ago, wih he papers of Goodfriend and King [997] and Clarida, Gali, and Gerler [999]. These conribuions inroduced a framework mixing Real Business Cycle feaures wih nominal rigidiies. This seing now forms he basic analyical srucure of conemporaneous macroeconomic models as exemplified by Woodford [2003] or Gali [2008]. Besides new ideas and a new modelling sraegy his New Keynesian Synhesis (NKS) has adoped new soluion procedures ha may appear cumbersome o non-specialiss. Because of heir recursive srucure NKS models do no admi a closed form soluion bu should be solved by borrowing procedures developed for he analysis of sochasic discree ime dynamics sysems. 6 The aim of his paper is o provide a compac and self conained presenaion of he srucure and of he sandard soluion procedure of he basic NKS framework known as he hree equaion model. We paricularly separae he main ideas conveyed by his model, using a saic version of he reference framework, from he echnical aspecs of he soluion procedure. In he presenaion we emphasise he qualiaive similariies beween he simple graphical analysis of he saic model and he Impulse Response Funcions (IRFs) of he model following he occurrence of exogenous shocks. We hen illusrae he key feaures of his model regarding he analysis of business cycles characerisics. The paper is organized as follows: In he firs secion we inroduce he general srucure of a benchmark NKS model ha combines (he log linear versions of) a Philips curve, an Euler equaion and a moneary policy (Taylor) rule. 7 In he second secion we se a simple saic version of he model o obain closed form soluions for he key macroeconomic variables and o provide he reader wih a graphical analysis of he consequences of demand and supply shocks. In he hird secion we inroduce he Blanchard-Kahn soluion procedure o ge IRFs and dynamic reacions of he model around a sable seady sae following exogenous supply demand and policy shocks. This hird secion is also devoed o a discussion of business cycles characerisics of he model. Secion four concludes.. The 3 equaion new Keynesian model The New Keynesian Synhesis (NKS) mixes he mehodology of Real Business Cycles (RBC) wih nominal and real rigidiies o characerise shor run macroeconomic developmens. More paricularly he NKS seeks o explain he macroeconomic shor run evoluion of an economy subjec o real and moneary 6 For an up o dae exhausive inroducion o his lieraure see Miao [204]. 7 In he appendix we provide he micro foundaions of he framework used in his paper.

The core represenaion of his synhesis has given rise o wha is called he 3-equaion model as he basic NKS seing reduces o a sysem of hree equaions corresponding o an AS- AD model. Firs, he AS curve is represened by he New Keynesian Phillips curve ha relaes inflaion o he oupu gap. Second, he AD componen of he model combines a dynamic IS curve (ha relaes he evoluion of he oupu gap o he ineres rae) and a MP (Moneary Policy) schedule (ha describes how he nominal ineres rae is se by he cenral bank following flucuaions in he oupu gap and in he inflaion rae. This model is based on agens micro founded decision rules where consumers maximize heir welfare subjec o an ineremporal budge consrain and where firms maximize heir profi, subjec o nominal rigidiies, characerising he imperfec adjusmen of prices on he goods marke. For convenience he micro foundaions of his model and he derivaion of he log-linear sysem are presened in appendix. These equaions in urn deermine hree main variables of ineres in a closed economy, namely he oupu gap (ˆ y ) which is he gap beween he effecive oupu and poenial oupu, he inflaion rae ( ˆ ) and he nominal ineres rae (ˆ r ). Formally, he model is defined as follows: The New Keynesian Philips Curve (PC) links curren inflaion ( ˆ ) o expeced fuure inflaion ( E { ˆ + }), o he curren oupu gap (ˆ y ) and o an exogenous supply shock ha akes he form of a cos push shock ( ε S ): 8 { } S ˆ = βe ˆ + κyˆ + ε. () + As shown in he appendix his relaionship comes from he aggregaion of he supply decision of firms ha have marke power and can re-opimize heir selling price wih disconinuiies (i.e. nominal rigidiies hey canno modify heir selling price a any poin in ime). Thus hey se he selling price of heir produc depending on hree main crieria. (i) The firs crierion is anicipaed inflaion: as firms canno re-opimize heir price, hey ake ino accoun fuure inflaion o se heir price oday. (ii) The second erm is he oupu gap: when firms se heir price hey ake ino accoun he difference beween supply and demand so ha inflaion reflecs sresses on he goods marke: firms increase heir prices during periods of expansion (ˆ y > 0) whils hey decrease i during recessions (ˆ y < 0). (iii) Finally, his relaion incorporaes a cos push erm ε S (such ha ε S > 0 may indicae an increase in raw maerials or energy price in he economy). In a sandard way we assume ha ε S is an AR() process: 9 S S S S S 2 ε = ρ ε + η wih η ~ N(0, σ ) and iid. The New Keynesian Phillips Curve is S 8 In he paper all parameers are posiive. 9 This assumpion is commonly adoped in he lieraure o characerize exogenous shocks [see for example, Gali 2008 for a discussion].

J.-C. Pouineau, K. Sobczak, G. Vermandel, The analyics of he New Keynesian 3 derived from he Calvo model [983] which combines saggered price-seing by imperfecly compeiive firms. As presened in he appendix, he Calvo approach assumes ha in each period, only a fracion θ of firms, randomly chosen, can rese heir selling prices 0. Using his assumpion, Clarida, Gali, and Gerler [999] show ha he Phillips curve hen akes a paricularly simple form in which inflaion depends on he curren gap beween acual and equilibrium oupu as in he sandard Phillips curve bu on expeced fuure inflaion raher han on pas inflaion. The dynamic IS curve is a log linearizaion of he Euler bond equaion ha describes he ineremporal allocaion of consumpion of agens in he economy: D yˆ = { ˆ } ( ˆ { ˆ E y+ r E + } ) + ε. (2) σ rae ( { }), o he expeced fuure oupu gap ( { } This relaion plays he same role as he IS curve in he IS-LM model. As shown in he appendix i comes from he ineremporal opimizaion of he welfare index of a represenaive consumer subjec o is budge consrain. Once aggregaed over consumers and log-linearized around he seady sae his relaion can be expressed in erms of he oupu gap (ˆ y ). The dynamic IS curve links he curren oupu gap o he difference beween he real ineres ˆ E ˆ E y ˆ + ) and o an ex- r + D ogenous preference shock ε (ha represens a demand shock henceforh). The demand shock is described in a sandard way by AR() process of he form: D D D D D 2 ε = ρ ε + η wih η ~ N(0, σ D) and is iid. The Moneary Policy schedule (MP) is based on he Taylor rule. I links he nominal ineres rae (ha is conrolled by moneary auhoriies) o he inflaion rae and o he oupu gap: y R r ˆ = ϕ ˆ + ϕ yˆ + ε. (3) In his equaion variable ε R denoes a moneary policy shock ha follows R R R R R 2 an AR() process of he form: ε = ρ ε + η wih η ~ N(0, σ R) and iid. This shock idenifies moneary policy decisions which imply deviaions from he sandard Taylor rule such as unconvenional measures or o reshape he inflaion expecaions in he medium run. This MP schedule aims a replacing he sandard LM curve commonly found in he sandard AS-AD model. I proposes an up-o-dae descripion of he behaviour of cenral banks ha conrol a shor run nominal ineres rae insead of a moneary aggregae [Clarida, Gali, and Gerler 999]. 0 Baranowski e al. [203] propose an endogenous mechanism. In appendices, we provide an ineres rae smoohing wih smoohing parameer ρ. In his secion we neglec hese feaures such ha ρ = 0.

4 Economics and Business Review, Vol. (5), No. 2, 205 This 3-equaion model is a sylised shorcu ha encompasses supply and demand relaions o deermine how he hree main macroeconomic variables of ineres (he oupu gap, he inflaion rae and he nominal ineres rae) reac o exogenous supply and demand shocks. In his shor presenaion we ignore more recen developmens associaed wih he inroducion of financial fricions ha give rise o an acceleraion phenomenon [see for example Pouineau and Vermandel 205a, b]. 2. The soluion o a saic version of he model This second secion simplifies he previous sysem () (3) o convey he main ideas of he NKS model. Following Bofinger, Mayer, and Wollmershäuser [2006] and Pouineau and Vermandel [205b] we neglec he dynamic aspecs of he model and we concenrae on a saic version of he framework. 2 This is helpful o obain he reduced form for he main variables of ineres and o undersand inuiions regarding he working of he model using ools similar o he IS-LM and AD-AS frameworks. To obain he saic version of he model we firsly assume ha he moneary auhoriies are perfecly credible in he conduc of moneary policy so ha he privae secor expecs ha hey reach he argeed inflaion rae in fuure, namely ha E { ˆ + } = 0, where 0 is he long-run argeed rae of inflaion. Secondly, we assume ha he economy is very close o full employmen so ha he auhoriies are able o close he oupu gap in he fuure, namely ha E { ˆ + } = y 0. Thus he gap beween he real ineres rae and he naural ineres rae disappears. In his case we can express he moneary policy rule in erms of he real ineres rae. Imposing hese resricions, he simplified saic framework gives: = 0 + κy + ε S, (4) y = y 0 σr + ε D, (5) r = ϕ ( 0 ) + ϕ y y + ε R. (6) In equilibrium he values of he oupu gap y*, he inflaion rae * and he ineres rae r* soluion o he model (4) (6) are a linear combinaion of exogenous shocks: 2 y0 σϕ S σ R D y* = ε ε + ε, Ω Ω Ω Ω κ σκ κ Dynamic aspecs will be reinroduced in Secion 3.

The adjusmen of he oupu gap, he inflaion rae and he nominal ineres rae following alernaive shocks is summarized in Table.

As shown in he second column a demand shock leads o an increase in he oupu gap, (aciviy increases), in he inflaion rae and he ineres rae.

As he emporarily equilibrium B implies an increase in he inflaion rae he cenral bank reacs by increasing he ineres rae for any value of he oupu gap.

In he final equilibrium C, he evoluion of aggregae demand from AD o AD, ha combines boh he iniial demand shock and he moneary reacion, is less han proporional o he demand shock. Furhermore, wih he reacion of he cenral bank he increase of inflaion is dampened. Finally he posiive demand shock leads o an increase in he oupu gap, an increase in inflaion and a rise in ineres rae, as summarized in Table.

In his example he supply shock is a posiive inflaion shock (ha corresponds o a decrease in he supply of goods ). Following his supply shock he Phillips curve moves upwards o he lef in he (y, ) space. This shock leads o an increase in he rae of inflaion and he cenral bank reacs by raising he ineres rae. Graphically he reacion of he cenral bank means increasing he ineres rae for any value of he oupu gap so ha he MP curve moves lef o MP in he

Once all he adjusmens have been implemened he final equilibrium lies a poin B which is characerized by a negaive oupu gap (namely aciviy falls below is naural value), an increase of he inflaion rae over is argeed value and a poin B an increase in he ineres rae (needed o dampen par of he inflaion consequences of he supply shock). Finally, he balance beween he consequences of he shocks on aciviy and inflaion depends on he slope of he demand curve which, in urn, is affeced by he reacion of he cenral bank o inflaion rae and oupu gap developmens. A more conservaive cenral bank (namely a cenral bank ha pus a higher weigh on inflaion and a lower weigh on he oupu gap) makes he slope of he demand curve of he economy flaer in he upper panel of figures and 2, which ranslaes ino lower flucuaions in he ineres rae bu o a higher variabiliy of he oupu gap. Conversely if he sance of he cenral bank reacion is more sensiive o he oupu gap and less sensiive o inflaion hen he MP and AD curves become seeper and shocks have a lower impac on aciviy and a higher impac on inflaion. 3. The fully-fledged model In he dynamic version of he model () (3), each period corresponds o a quarer. As he fully fledged model does no have a closed form soluion i mus be simulaed around a sable seady sae. The soluion procedure, based on he Blanchard-Kahn [980] approach, 3 requires he choice of numerical values for he parameers of he model in order o compue Impulse Response Funcions (IRFs hereafer ) and he corresponding variance decomposiion of he hree variables of ineres of he model. 3.. The soluion procedure The soluion procedure inroduced by Blanchard and Kahn [980] is based on marix calculus and is aimed a selecing a unique sable dynamic pah o describe he reacion of he variables following he occurrence of exogenous shocks. The Blanchard-Kahn condiion defines a necessary crierion o ge his resul hrough he equaliy beween he number of forward variables and he number of unsable eigenvalues. Pracically he problem of he eigenvalues ranslaes ino he problem of appropriae values of he srucural parameers of he model or heir combinaions. To be solved he model firs has o be 3 In his paper we adoped he Blanchard-Kahn approach for solving he model, given is anerioriy and populariy in lieraure. However, he reader should be aware of he exisence of oher mehods inroduced by Klein [2000] and Sims [2000]. Miao [204] offers a nice comparison beween hese hree approaches.

As presened in Table 2, following Galí [2008], we use a calibraion of he model parameers ha is commonly seleced in he lieraure. The inra-emporal elasiciy beween inermediae goods is se a 6 which implies a seady sae mark-up of 20 % in he goods marke corresponding o wha is observed in main developed economies. The sensiiviy of he inflaion rae o changes in he marginal cos is equal o 0.3 roughly. The value of he discoun facor se a 0.99 implies he seady sae quarerly ineres rae equal o one and he seady sae real reurn on financial asses of abou 4 percen per year. Average price duraion amouns o hree quarers which is consisen wih empirical evidence. 4 The values of coefficiens in he ineres rae rule (3) are consisen wih variaions observed in he daa on inflaion and he ineres rae given in he annual raes. 5 Because in our model periods are inerpreed as quarers he oupu gap coefficien has o be divided by 4. 3.2. Impulse-response analysis The mechanisms by which random innovaions change ino endogenous variables flucuaions may be illusraed by impulse response funcions (IRFs). Each IRF isolaes he impac of a paricular shock hroughou he economy. To documen he response of aciviy, inflaion and nominal ineres we sequenially describe he consequences of a supply, demand and ineres rae shock. The demand shock: Figure 3 documens he consequences of a % posiive demand shock. As observed he increase in goods demand for leads o an in- Benchmark regime is: ϕ =.5, ϕ y = 0.5/4, inflaion arge regime: ϕ =.7, oupu gap regime: ϕ y = 0.8/4 Figure 3. Effecs of a % demand shock 4 Galí, Gerler, López-Salido [200] and Sbordone [2002] provide esimaions based on aggregae daa. Galí [2008] poins also o some micro evidence. 5 These values were originally proposed by Taylor [999] as a good approximaion of he moneary policy conduced by he Federal Reserve in years 986 999 when he head of he USA cenral banking sysem was Alan Greenspan. His moneary policy decisions largely followed sandard Taylor rule recommendaions.

J.-C. Pouineau, K. Sobczak, G. Vermandel, The analyics of he New Keynesian 2 crease in aciviy so ha he oupu gap becomes posiive. However, as producion overshoos is naural value his rise in aciviy increases he inflaion rae. Since boh he oupu gap and inflaion rae increase he cenral bank should reac by raising he nominal ineres rae. According o he Taylor principle he nominal ineres rae increases more han proporionally o inflaion developmens o affec real exchange raes. This policy however is no sufficien o close he posiive oupu gap immediaely or o dampen he inflaion rae. The effec of moneary policy should be assessed over ime on he oupu gap (aciviy goes back o is naural value as ime passes) and on he rae of inflaion (ha converges owards is naural value). The adjusmen ime pah is affeced by he parameer value of he Taylor rule. As presened in Figure 3 a higher concern for inflaion or oupu gap reduces he volailiy of boh aciviy and inflaion. Thus, sricer moneary policy leads o more moderae responses of variables o he demand shock. The supply shock: Figure 4 represens he consequences of a % increase in inflaion (i.e. he negaive supply shock acs as an increase in he price of raw maerials or energy ha increases he real marginal cos of producion). This shock has a direc impac on inflaion ha rises and overshoos is argeed value. As a consequence moneary auhoriies should reac according o he Taylor principle by raising he ineres rae. Since he increase in he nominal ineres rae is higher han he rae of inflaion, he real rae rises. This, in urn, negaively affecs oupu ha decreases under is naural value. However, as ime passes, he increase in he ineres rae dampens inflaion. Finally, he oupu gap goes back o is seady sae value whils he inflaion rae reaches is argeed value. As previously for he demand shock, he ime pah of variables is affeced by he parameer values of he Taylor rule. A higher concern for oupu gap (as represened wih inflaion arge IRF) leads o weaker responses of real variables and sronger responses of nominal variables. Inversely a higher concern for inflaion leads o sronger responses of real variables and weaker responses of inflaion and nominal ineres rae.

22 Economics and Business Review, Vol. (5), No. 2, 205 Benchmark regime is: ϕ =.5, ϕ y = 0.5/4, inflaion arge regime: ϕ =.7, oupu gap regime: ϕ y = 0.8/4 Figure 5. Effecs of % a moneary policy shock The moneary policy shock: Figure 5 documens he consequences of a % increase in he nominal ineres rae (corresponding o a 25 basis poin increase in he exogenous shock measured in quarerly erms as presened in he figure). Because of sicky prices he iniial increase in he nominal ineres rae implies a corresponding increase in he real ineres rae a he iniial period. This depresses demand in he economy as i leads households o delay heir consumpion hrough ineremporal consumpion smoohing as repored in he Euler condiion. Since aciviy is demand deermined, firms producion decreases. In he meanwhile he drop in demand generaes deflaion. The economy recovers overime, since, according o he Taylor rule, a decrease in boh aciviy and in he inflaion rae leads o a reducion in he nominal ineres rae afer he iniial period. 3.3. Business cycle saisics IRF analysis aims a isolaing he effec of a paricular shock on he dynamics of endogenous variables. However, in real life siuaions, shocks occur boh randomly and joinly o affec he macroeconomic equilibrium. The combined effec of supply and demand shocks over ime is capured by hisorical variance analysis. The aim of his exercise is boh o evaluae he relaive conribuion of each ype of shock on he moion of macroeconomic variables over ime and o appreciae how a paricular design for economic policy may dampen he effec of one paricular ype of shock. Table 3 shows he variance decomposiion of aciviy, inflaion and he nominal ineres rae under he benchmark calibraion of Table 2 and evaluaes he sensiiviy of he benchmark resuls o alernaive values of key behavioural and policy parameers of he model. In he firs panel of Table 3 (Benchmark calibraion), supply side shocks (namely price mark- up shocks) explain mos of he oupu variabiliy leaving only a marginal conribuion (around 4%) o demand and ineres rae shocks. In conras he variabiliy of he inflaion rae is mainly explained by demand and moneary policy innovaions. Finally, around 2/3 of ineres rae variabiliy is explained by real supply side shocks.

In he sicky economy only 5% of he oal number of firms can rese heir price each period. Whils in he quasi flexible siuaion 99% of he oal number of firms rese heir prices each quarer. The main consequences can be assessed wih regard o he conribuion of supply side shocks o inflaion and ineres raes. Remarkably supply side shocks have no effec on eiher inflaion or ineres raes when prices are flexible. In conras he flucuaions of he oupu gap are more sensiive o ineres rae shocks whils he effec of demand shocks on aciviy is almos unobsevable. In panel 4 and 5 we evaluae he sensiiviy of he benchmark resuls o alernaive assumpion regarding he conduc of moneary policy. When a moneary policy is more aggressive in erms of inflaion (panel 4) i dampens he effec of demand shocks on aciviy (and in conras makes oupu developmen

24 Economics and Business Review, Vol. (5), No. 2, 205 more sensiive o supply shocks) and reinforces he impac of demand shocks on inflaion (whils, conversely, i dampens he impac of supply side shocks on his variable). Finally, his policy has almos no noiceable effec on he relaive conribuion of shocks on ineres rae developmens. In panel 5 an oupu oriened moneary policy increases he effec of supply shocks on inflaion and ineres rae whils leaving he relaive conribuion of shocks on aciviy almos unchanged. The resuls obained in hese las wo panels may serve as simple guideline o deermine he naure of moneary policy depending on boh is objecive and he origin of shocks. If an economy is mainly affeced by price mark-up shocks moneary policy should be more closely oriened owards oupu developmens. As his policy is able o dampen he effec of supply shocks on inflaion, whils having no noiceable effec on aciviy, moneary auhoriies are able o sabilise prices more easily. In conras if he economy is affeced by demand shocks he auhoriies have o use arbirage because a more aggressive policy agains inflaion dampens he impac of demand shocks on aciviy whils i increases he impac of demand shocks on inflaion. Conclusions In his paper we have described in a concise way he main ideas conveyed by he 3 equaion New Keynesian model and he main elemens of he soluion procedure required o analyse he dynamics of he model. To inroduce he reader o his class of models we have presened a simple saic version of he model ha gives boh direc reduced forms and provides he basis for a simple graphical analysis of he macroeconomic equilibrium. We have hen inroduced he Blanchard-Kahn soluion procedure and repor IRFs o describe he dynamic adjusmen of he economy over periods. Finally we have used he hisorical variance analysis o evaluae how a modificaion of values of he key parameers of he model affec he relaive conribuion of supply side and demand side shocks. Our aim was no o provide he reader wih a comprehensive and up o dae caalogue of all he resuls obained by his New Keynesian lieraure bu raher o offer a clear and simple presenaion of he basic ideas and he required echnical ools needed o solve his class of models ha have become he convenional workhorse of oday s macroeconomics.

As in Smes and Wouers [2005] we inroduce an AR() demand shock process in he budge consrain of he represenaive household denoed by ε D. Afer replacing he Lagrange muliplier he firs order condiions are defined by he Euler bond condiion: σ E C E + ( j) β R = D, (A.3) ε C ( ) j e + P + where + = is he inflaion rae and he labour supply equaion is deermined P by: W χc ( ) σ ( ) φ j H j =.

In he second sage problem he firms canno opimally se prices. There is a fracion of firms θ ha are no allowed o rese prices. Prices hen evolve according o P (i) = P (i). The remaining share of firms θ can se heir selling price such ha P (i) = P *(i), where P *(i) denoes he opimal price se by he represenaive firm given he nominal rigidiy. The maximizaion programme is hus defined as: + c λ + τ τ max E ( βθ) P* ( ) MC ( ) i τ Y τ( ) c + i + i P* ( i) λ, (A.8) τ= 0 under he downward sloping consrain from goods packers: where: = S γε μ + τ μ + *( ) τ P i E { Y + τ( i) } = E Y + τ, τ > 0, P + τ (A.9) μ e he ime-varying mark-up, denoes he imperfec subsiuabiliy beween differen goods varieies, S ε denoes he mark-up shock, γ a shif parameer ha normalizes he shock o uniy in he log-linear form of he model as in Smes and Wouers [2005].
