eigenvalue associated with the capital stock dynamics is the same regardless of the index

of inflation targeted. The Appendix proves the following:

Proposition 3 Suppose that monetary policy reacts to current-looking consumer price
inflation. Then for an active monetary policy (μ > 1), the necessary and sufficient con-
ditions for determinacy of the difference system are:
