Optimal monetary rules and internationalized production

Abstract: This paper explores the implications of international location of production for the optimal design of monetary policy in a framework that allows for price discrimination across international markets. By introducing multinational production in a dynamic open economy, the paper shows that optimal monetary rules do not react to foreign cyclical conditions. The paper further shows that non-cooperative monetary rules cannot restore the flexible price allocation while international monetary cooperation can do so

“…In a related monopolistic trade model, Corsetti et al (2007) hypothesize that each home and foreign household receives an equal share of the profits of all firms. In contrast, Devereux and Engel (2001), Cavallari (2004Cavallari ( , 2005, Ghironi and Melitz (2005), Lubik and Russ (2006) and Russ (2007) assume that each household only owns domestic firms. 13 Throughout the paper, we also use the index z ∈ [0, 1] to refer to the product of firm z.…”

“…One line of research investigates the determinants of firms' entry and exit decisions in an environment characterized by nominal rigidity and/or trade costs, with only a very limited number of papers in this area allowing for multinational activities 2 . A second approach stresses the macroeconomic implications of frictions in international goods markets arising from trade costs, as in Obstfeld and Rogoff (2000), and from multinational sales as in Devereux and Engel (2001) and Cavallari (2004). The present paper contributes to the latter line of research by providing a unified framework that conveniently nests earlier models with trade costs and models with internationalized production.…”

“…Aizenman (), Devereux and Engel (), , Cavallari, ;, , Chu (), and Nishiyama () all consider optimal monetary policy in a representative firm framework with horizontal foreign direct investment, but do not allow for the endogenous determination of the number of firms. They focus instead on the production behavior of multinational firms which are already active in foreign markets.…”
