Furthermore, this stabilization rule is remarkably robust to uncertainty about the model parameters and to various assumptions regarding the nature and incidence of the innovations. However, the characteristics of optimal policy are very sensitive to the specification of the money expantion mechanism, thereby highlighting the importance of additional research regarding the structure of labor markets and inflation.
