Friedman and Taylor on Monetary Policy Rules: A Comparison
نویسنده
چکیده
The names Milton Friedman and John Taylor are associated with different monetary policy rules; but, as shown in this paper, the difference between their perceptions of how the economy works is not great. The monetary policy rules advanced by Taylor and Friedman are compared by linking the rules to the two economists’ underlying views about nominal rigidity, the source of trade-offs, the sources of shocks, and model uncertainty. Taylor and Friedman both emphasized Phillips curve specifications that impose temporary nominal price rigidity and the long-run natural-rate restriction; and they basically agreed on the specification of shocks, policymaker objectives, and trade-offs. Where they differed was on the extent to which structural models should enter the monetary policy decisionmaking process. This difference helps account for the differences in their preferred monetary policy rules. (JEL E42, E51, E61)

Taylor rule is one of the rules known in the transmission of monetary policy.[1] Based on this rule and given the output gap and inflation gap, the central bank increases or ...
متن کاملReconnoitering the effective Channels of Monetary Transmission Mechanism in Iran Using a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Model
The purpose of the present research is to investigate the effective channels of the monetary transmission mechanism in Iran. To do so, we devised a New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Model. In our model, the different types of nominal rigidities are introduced beside all the related structural equations, which are extracted and linearized around a steady state point. Furthermo...
متن کاملMonetary and Macro-prudential Policies: An Integrated Analysis
This paper studies the interaction between monetary and macro-prudential policies in a simple model with both nominal and financial frictions. The nominal friction gives rise to a conventional monetary policy objective emphasized in the New Keynesian literature. The financial friction, in the form of an occasionally binding collateral constraint, gives rise to a financial stability objective. ...
متن کاملMoney Growth Rules in an Emerging Small Open Economy with an informal sector
This paper is concerned with the saddle-path stability of monetary growth rules in a two-country two-sector dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model. Alongside standard features of emerging economies, such as a combination of producer and local currency pricing for exports, fiscal dominance and oil exports, this model also incorporates informal labour and production sectors and examines how...
