It reviews recent arguments that favour price-level targeting, and examines how certain factors, such as the nature of the shocks affecting the economy and the degree to which agents are forward-looking, bear upon the arguments. The paper then extends the analysis to a small open economy such as Canada's, and considers whether it is practical for this country to pursue price-level targets if its dominant trading partner, the United States, allows the price level to drift.}, url = {http://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/889}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.34989/swp-2001-24}, }
