【摘要】The paper draws a noninflationary component of monetary policyand a friction that makes the component relevant from the backgroundof the debate between the real-bills doctrine and quantity theory. Withthe friction in place, there is a parameter space in which the noninfla-tionary component is effective in affecting the nominal and real interestrates. A complete description of both inflationary and noninflationarycomponents by policy can result in determinacy of equilibrium whenit is effective. The classic liquidity trap may be contributed by bothfundamentals and policy; the noninfiationary component is ineffectivein the liquidity trap. The interest-rate pegging policy leads to inde-terminacy of equilibrium because it leaves the inflationary componentunspecified.
