We show the existence of a clear welfare ranking of the different equilibria arising from a dynamic optimization.

We establish that some form of strategic behavior should be adopted in the conduct of monetary policy as the traditional regimes of fixed and flexible exchange rates are dominated by the strategic equilibria.","The optimal choice of monetary instrument under strategic conditions is determined in two stages. First, for each pair of policy instruments, minimized welfare costs corresponding to the Nash and Consistent Conjectural Variations equilibrium are determined for each economy.
