The optimal monetary policy rule under the non-negativity constraint on nominal interest rates

Abstract

We identify a monetary policy rule that remains optimal even in the presence of the non-negativity constraint on nominal interest rates. This rule also compensates for any past shortfalls in monetary easing during the zero interest rate period.
