It is almost unnecessary to begin by emphasizing that recent research in monetary policy
analysis has featured a great deal of work concerning conditions for determinacy—i.e., existence
of a unique dynamically stable rational expectations equilibrium—under various specifications
of policy behavior. Indeed, there are a number of papers in which determinacy is the only
criterion for a desirable monetary policy regime that is explicitly mentioned.
