Staggered Price and Wage Setting in Macroeconomics

"Rational" Expectations, the Optimal Monetary Instrument, and the Optimal Money Supply Rule

TL;DR: In this paper, alternative monetary policies are analyzed in an ad hoc macroeconomic model in which the public's expectations about prices are rational, and it turns out that the probility distribution of output is independent of the particular deterministic money supply rule in effect.
