Changes Over Time

We propose a model of delegated portfolio management with career concerns. Investors hire fund managers to invest their capital either in risky bonds or in riskless assets. Some managers have superior information on default risk. Based on past performance, investors update beliefs on managers and make firing decisions. This leads to career concerns that affect managers' investment decisions, generating a countercyclical “reputational premium.” When default risk is high, return on bonds is high to compensate uninformed managers for the high risk of being fired. As default risk changes over time, the reputational premium amplifies price volatility. (JEL G11, G12, G23, L84)

Decision Making Model

The validity and merits of the monetary policy is reflected in the level of the attainment of its ultimate goal. We build up a decision-making model of central bank and deduce the optimal money supply reaction function of considering and ignoring asset price. In order to clarify the relationship between the optimal monetary policy and asset price volatility, we simulate the macroeconomic performance of optimal reaction function of considering and ignoring asset price in a wide range of monetary policy objective. We conclude that monetary policy should respond to volatility of asset price directly.
