Dear all,
I’m working on a model with one stochastic volatility shock and I have a doubt about it. I would like to know if -in this context- is possible to run a simple and implementable optimal policy analysis, like Schmitt-Grohé and Uribe. In other words, getting the best simple monetary policy rule under the volatility shock using consumer’s welfare criteria.
I’m not sure if I should to asses the model with the welfare function using just a second-order expansion (like is common) or with the third order, necessary for getting the impact of this kind of shocks on the economy.
Do you have any ideas or, maybe, a paper about this kind of analysis? I will appreciate any help.
Regards,
Carlos.
