Abstract
Central banks face uncertainty about the true location of the effective
lower bound (ELB) on nominal interest rates. We model optimal discretionary
monetary policy during a liquidity trap when the central bank designs policy
that is robust with respect to the location of the ELB. If the central bank
fears the worst-case location of the ELB, monetary conditions will be more
expansionary before the liquidity trap occurs.
