• The study aims to understand how transparency and scepticism influence monetary policy through a noisy observation framework.
• Developed a theoretical model of monetary policy as an observation game.
• Analyzed the interactions between agents under varying levels of transparency.
• Examined the effects of inflation on decision-making in the model.
• Increased transparency leads to more informed decisions among economic agents.
• Higher levels of scepticism can undermine the effectiveness of monetary policy.
• Inflation impacts the strategies used by agents in the observation game.
