- Abstract
- The target interest rate set by the United States Federal Reserve has been baring significant implications to the every corner of the world. While accurate prediction of the monetary policy has been regarded as of little likelihood, many scholars have dedicated to make the best estimation. The Taylor Rule has been on the center of those studies with its effectiveness in explaining the policy rate movements. Continuous progress has been made on top of the groundbreaking study. The practice of gradual target-rate adjustment together with holding the similar stance to the previous decision is captured in a line of studies. Motivated by the manner of step-wise adjustment to the federal funds rate, a number of researches embraced discrete model approaches. Despite the development made so far, volatilities in financial markets and ambiguities in the tones set by the media before FOMC meetings provide evidences that no models predict it perfectly. This paper intends to compare the estimation models for the U.S. monetary policy. Empirical findings imply that both the linear model enhanced with policy inertia terms and the ordered probit model are equally good in policy description for the period of 1994-2008. However, out-sample fit tests for the period of 2009-2016 cast a doubt upon those models validity.
