Taylor Rule x Central Banking (Asso, Kahn, Leeson)

“The Taylor Rule and the Practice of Central Banking” by Pier Francesco Asso, George A. Kahn, and Robert Leeson. This Federal Reserve Bank Kansas City paper (RWP-10-05) examines how the Taylor rule is used as an input in monetary policy deliberations and decision-making at central banks. The paper characterizes the policy environment at the time of the development of the Taylor rule and describes how and why the Taylor rule became integrated into policy discussions and, in some cases, the policy framework itself. see: http://www.kansascityfed.org/PUBLICAT/RESWKPAP/PDF/rwp10-05.pdf
