Policy rules in practice

Author

Listed:
  • Williams, John C.

Abstract

Over the past twenty years, monetary policy rules have played an increasingly central role in disucssions of monetary policy strategy and tactics at the Federal Reserve. This represented a sea change in thinking about monetary policy in terms of a systematic startagey rather than a sequence of policy decisions.
