Abstract
The Taylor rule constitutes the main tool policy makers rely on to guide monetary policy. In simple words, the rule is a reaction function that determines the short-term interest rate, which responds in the baseline specifications to changes in the inflation gap and the output gap. Since the original paper of Taylor (1993), a large debate has taken place in the literature regarding what the best performing rules are. This paper attempts to analyze the recent literature on the Taylor rule and in particular two important extensions proposed in the last decades: first, we consider whether financial variables should be included in the Taylor rule; second, we analyze the inclusion of the long-term interest rate. From this analysis, we contribute to the understanding of the main monetary policy tool used by any Central Bank and debate whether we find potential variables to extend it. Politica monetaria ottimale ed estensioni della regola di Taylor La regola di Taylor costituisce lo strumento principale su cui i decisori di politica monetaria fanno affidamento per orientare le politiche da implementare. In parole semplici, tale regola consiste in una funzione di reazione che determina il tasso di interesse sul mercato interbancario, che corrisponde alle specificazioni per agire e modificare il differenziale dell’inflazione e dell’output. Lo studio di Taylor (1993), ha dato origine a un importante dibattito in letteratura su quali fossero le migliori regole di politica monetaria. Questo studio ha l’obiettivo di analizzare la letteratura più recente sulla regola di Taylor, con particolare riguardo a due estensioni proposte negli ultimi decenni: in primo luogo valutiamo se le variabili finanziarie debbano essere incluse nella regola di Taylor; in seguito, analizziamo l’inclusione del tasso di interesse di lungo periodo. Con questa analisi contribuiamo a una migliore comprensione del principale strumento di politica monetaria utilizzato da ogni banca centrale e al presentiamo una discussione sull’individuazione di potenziali variabili per estenderlo.
