Policy rules in macroeconomic forecasting models

Author

  • Todd E. Clark

Abstract

This Commentary describes how some of the Cleveland Fed?s macroeconomic forecasting models have been modified to use a Taylor rule for monetary policy. After briefly describing the Taylor rule implementation, the article shows that the Taylor rule included in one of our models successfully captures the course of monetary policy in the most recent episode of policy tightening.
