Abstract: |
This paper uses simulation
techniques to evaluate variants of the Taylor rule in a model where the
underlying trend rate of growth is subject to permanent shifts. We show that
the original Taylor rule is not particularly well-formulated
for dealing with this type of environment. However, we also find that a
Taylor-type rule in which the output gap is replaced by output growth or one
that is augmented by an explicit policy response to deviations of the price
level from a target path will look much like the optimal policy. |
