Abstract

Various indicators were developed in the 1990s to assess the impact of the European Central Bank's monetary policy. This article has selected two particularly prominent indicators, the Taylor interest rate and the Monetary Condition Index (MCI) and has quantified their course for the period 1994 to 2000 in the euro area.
