Taylor rules and technology shocks

Author

Listed:
  • Sims, Eric R.

Abstract

In New Keynesian models, Taylor rules move real rates in the same direction as the natural rate, but less than one-for-one. Permanent, positive technology shocks raise the natural rate—policy is expansionary and hours rise relative to the flexible price case.
