Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This paper surveys recent articles on the costs and benefits of price‐level targeting, focusing its use as a tool for stabilisation policy. It discusses how price‐level targeting can affect the short‐run trade‐off between output and inflation variability by influencing inflation expectations. It reviews how assigning an explicit price‐level target to a central bank that is unable to commit to its future policies can improve economic performance. It surveys other potential benefits and costs. Among the costs, it underlines the importance of perfectly rational expectations for the optimality of price‐level targeting, and an exacerbation of the time inconsistency problem.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
