We use the New Keynesian continuous-time framework to theoretically investigate the effects of a lag in a central bank’s response to economic fluctuations (i.e., monetary policy lag) on local equilibrium determinacy. In the case of a policy without lag, equilibrium is indeterminate even though a central bank’s policy response is sufficiently active. However, in the case of a policy with lag, an active monetary policy can contribute to local equilibrium determinacy if the lag is modest.
