Optimal policy differs from a Representative Agent bench-mark because monetary policy can affect consumption inequality, by stabilizing consumption risk arising from both idiosyncratic shocks and unequal exposures to aggregate shocks. The tradeoff between consumption inequality, productive efficiency and price stability is summarized in a simple linear-quadratic problem yielding interpretable target criteria. Stabilizing consumption inequality requires putting some weight on stabilizing the level of output, and correspondingly reducing the weights on the output gap and price level relative to the representative agent benchmark. <p><p>Code for peer-reviewed article published in American Economic Review.$$7Abstract 000001258 540__ $$aCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International$$uhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode$$fCC-BY-4.0 000001258 7001_ $$aAcharya, Sushant$$7Personal$$uBank of Canada$$3https://ror.org/05cc98565$$5ROR 000001258 7001_ $$aChalle, Edouard$$7Personal$$uEuropean University Institute 000001258 7001_ $$aDogra, Keshav$$7Personal$$uFederal Reserve Bank of New York 000001258 791__ $$aJournalArticle$$iReproducibility package is associated with peer-reviewed article$$w10.1257/aer.20200239$$c2023$$dAmerican Economic Review (American Economic Association)$$tOptimal Monetary Policy According to HANK$$2DOI$$j113$$k7$$q1741$$o1782$$eIsSupplementTo 000001258 791__ $$aText$$iAssociated article is first published as Bank of Canada Staff Working Paper$$w10.34989/swp-2021-55$$c2021$$dBank of Canada$$tOptimal Monetary Policy According to HANK$$2DOI$$jStaff Working Paper$$k2021-55$$eIsSupplementTo 000001258 8301_ $$aReproducibility Package 000001258 8301_ $$aEnsemble de données pour la reproductibilité des résultats de recherche 000001258 909CO $$ooai:www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca:1258$$pbibliographic 000001258 937__ $$aAcharya, S., E.
