Abstract

We develop a New Monetarist model in continuous time where agents trade continuously in competitive markets and infrequently in pairwise meetings. Agents can produce and consume both in flows over time intervals and in discrete quantities at points in time. We detail the methodology to solve individual optimization problems and characterize the full set of perfect foresight equilibria. We illustrate the role of continuous time and the tractability of our approach with three applications: (i) forward guidance with policy announcements; (ii) aggregate demand management and monetary policy; (iii) open-market operations with partially liquid bonds.
