Historical monetary policy analysis and the Taylor rule
This study examines the usefulness of the Taylor-rule framework as an organizing device for describing the policy debate and evolution of monetary policy in the United States. Monetary policy during the 1920s and since the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve Accord can be broadly interpreted in terms of this framework with rather surprising consistency. In broad terms, during these periods policy has...
متن کاملCross-checking optimal monetary policy with information from the Taylor rule
This paper shows that monetary policy should be delegated to a central bank that cross-checks optimal policy with information from the Taylor rule. Attaching some weight to deviations of the interest rate from the interest rate prescribed by the Taylor rule is beneficial if the central bank aims at optimally stabilizing inflation and output gap variability under discretion. Placing a weight on ...
متن کاملMeasuring Systematic Monetary Policy
The 1970s and early 1980s witnessed two main approaches to the analysis of monetary policy. The first is the early new classical approach of Lucas, based on the assumptions of rational expectations and market clearing. The second is the atheoretical econometrics of Sims’s VAR program. Both have developed: the new classical approach has been enriched through various accounts of price stickiness,...
متن کاملMonetary Policy and the Great Inflation: A Multi-Country Time-Varying Analysis Using the Taylor Rule
This paper is motivated by the observation that the Great Inflation, i.e., the high and volatile inflation that developed in the mid 1960s and lasted for almost twenty years, was an international phenomenon. Given that observation, we argue that an explanation for the Great Inflation should be consistent with the timing of the events in many developed countries, and not only with the US. We pro...
متن کاملECB Monetary Policy: How well does the Taylor Rule describe it?
Over the last decade, the simple instrument policy rule developed by Taylor (1993) has become a popular tool for evaluating monetary policy of central banks. As an extensive empirical analysis of the ECB’s past behaviour still seems to be in its infancy, we estimate several instrument policy reaction functions for the ECB which might shed a light on actual monetary policy in the euro area in th...
