abstract:
 
This paper examines the welfare implications of managing asset-price with consumer-price inflation targeting by monetary authorities who have to learn the laws of motion for both inflation rates. Our results show that the Central Bank can improve welfare if it targets both consumer and asset-price inflation with state-contingent Taylor rules rather than conventional linear Taylor rules.
