- 요약This dissertation examines the optimal response of monetary policy to a sudden accumulation of government debt. It focuses on the role of inflation and interest rate policy in maintaining debt sustainability, particularly when fiscal adjustment is limited. The three chapters form a coherent analysis: Chapter 1 documents recent policy patterns, Chapter 2 develops a theoretical explanation, and Chapter 3 tests the empirical relevance of this framework using historical U.S. data. Chapter 1 analyzes the policy response following the COVID-19 pandemic, when public debt rose sharply and inflation exceeded its target. It focuses on the case of the United States, an advanced economy that faces the most significant challenges in stabilizing its debt. Using a sign-restricted structural VAR, the chapter shows that inflation tends to increase while interest rates stay low in response to public debt shocks. This pattern is consistent with temporary monetary accommodation. A medium-scale DSGE model calibrated to U.S. data supports the empirical results. It suggests that inflation overshooting and delayed rate hikes may be optimal when fiscal consolidation is not immediate. Chapter 2 builds a theoretical foundation for this behavior. It uses a New Keynesian model with nominal rigidities and distortionary taxation to study optimal joint fiscal-monetary policy following an unanticipated government debt expansion. Solving a Ramsey problem with commitment, the chapter shows that if tax policy is flexible, it absorbs the debt burden, so that monetary policy can focus on inflation stabilization. However, when tax adjustment is constrained, inflation becomes a necessary tool for maintaining debt sustainability. The chapter outlines the conditions that determine the magnitude and duration of inflation overshooting. Importantly, the resulting optimal interest rate rule takes the form of a modified Taylor rule, in which policy responds to both inflation and the state of government indebtedness. Chapter 3 tests whether this modified Taylor rule describes U.S. monetary policy behavior from 1960 to 2024. It estimates how the Federal Reserve reacts to inflation, the output gap, and beginning-of-period surprises in real government debt using OLS, IV, threshold regressions, and time-varying parameter models. The results capture that the Fed's attention to the real debt gap and that its sensitivity to inflation weakens during large debt deviations. These findings suggest that the theoretical rule in Chapter 2 captures key features of real-world monetary policy under fiscal stress. Together, the chapters develop a unified argument: optimal monetary policy accommodates fiscal distress. This is reflected in sustained periods of elevated inflation and more muted interest rate responses in the short and medium term. The pattern is both theoretically grounded and empirically observed in U.S. data. The dissertation contributes to understanding how monetary authorities can navigate the trade-off between price stability and debt sustainability when fiscal space is limited.
