Question

Suppose the equilibrium real overnight interest rate is 5 percent, the target rate of inflation is 3 percent, the current inflation rate is 5 percent, and real GDP is 4 percent above potential real GDP. If the weights for the inflation gap and the output gap are both 1/2, then according to the Taylor rule the overnight interest target rate equals

Step 1

Step 1:** Calculate the total inflation gap by subtracting the target inflation rate from the current inflation rate: Total Inflation Gap = Current Inflation Rate - Target Inflation Rate Total Inflation Gap = 5% - 3% Total Inflation Gap = 2% ** Show more…
