On 13 December 2018, the National Bank of Ukraine will held its traditional open research seminar where Oleksandr Faryna, National Bank of Ukraine, and Magnus Jonsson, Sveriges Riksbank, will present their recent research work “Disinflation in small open and closed economies”, co-authored with Nadiia Shapovalenko, National Bank of Ukraine.
The seminar will be dedicated to an important topic for Ukraine – how the central bank under a lack of credibility should introduce and implement a policy of reducing the long-term inflation rate avoiding large short-term output losses. Authors use a New Keynesian DSGE model with sticky prices and imperfect credibility of the central bank to examine the major mechanisms in forming agents’ expectations about future long-term inflation rate.
The seminar’s working language will be English.
Seminar venue: room 206, 9, Instytutska St., Kyiv. The venue can be accessed via the central entrance.
The seminar starts at 4 p.m. Registration of participants will take place from 3.45 p.m. to 3.55 p.m. To be admitted into the NBU, which is a restricted access facility, you must show your ID.
