Redistributive effects of a change in the inflation target / Robert Amano, Thomas Carter and Yaz Terajima.: FB3-7/2017-13E-PDF

While the appropriate level for the inflation target remains an open question, it’s important to note that any transition to a new target would entail certain costs. In this note, we consider one dimension of these costs, namely, the redistributive effects stemming from the fact that financial contracts are often written in nominal terms and would thus experience changes in real value following the announcement of a new target"--Abstract, p. ii.
