Abstract
The paper analyzes the effective method of monetary control
by estimating a vector autoregressive model of three variables,
GNP, money supply, and short-term interest rates, and conducting
dynamic optimal control simulation for Japan. The result indicates
that active monetary control with any monetary policy
instruments is better than passive monetary control which keeps
certain monetary instruments constant. Among active monetary
policy, money supply control turns out to be better than interest
rate control. Yet, it appears to be more feasible to follow
active interest rate control.
