Abstract: 

This paper employs a New Keynesian model in which the central bank formulates a robust control approach to policy and firms hold working capital. We model credit market distortions in terms of a worst-case interest rate spread. The degree of policy aggressiveness increases in the size of the working capital channel. With a larger working capital channel in the U.S. than in the Euro area, the Fed should set interest rates more vigorously than the ECB.
