Abstract
Many small economies are reliant on imported oil for economic activities. Hence, these economies are susceptible to the recessive effects of oil price shocks, particularly positive shocks. The analyses on optimal monetary policy in the face of unanticipated changes in real oil prices have so far been limited to models characterizing close economies, large open economies, and small economies exporting oil. A dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model developed by An and Kang (2012) was calibrated to describe the Philippine economy and used to simulate the effects of an unanticipated increase in real oil price to the oil-importing, small open economy. To characterize the optimal monetary rule for the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), a welfare loss criterion that is based on the disturbance in inflation rate, output growth and exchange rate was used. The results of the study show that a positive oil price shock causes a temporary contraction in the economy that is under a baseline monetary rule that targets headline inflation and output. The optimal monetary response in the context of the model subjected to an oil price shock is an interest rate rule that responds to disturbances in core inflation with a heavy emphasis on interest rate smoothing. The monetary policy conduct of the BSP in event of oil price shocks which was to control for second-round effects of the shock is aligned with the optimal rule found in the study.
