| Sumario: | This paper proposes a simple modification of an otherwise standard New Consensus open economy model. We include an endogenous risk premium to show that a Taylor Rule that satisfies the Taylor Principle may lead to instability if exchange rate depreciations worsen the balance sheet of firms, exerting a negative effect on output and employment. Thus, the adoption of Inflation Targeting and a flexible exchange rate regime introduces destabilizing forces in economies that are exposed to liability dollarization, and this helps to rationalize central bank interventions in the foreign exchange market to avoid large exchange rate fluctuations. |
