问题如下:
Based on the Taylor rule, if the central bank targets a 5.25% nominal policy rate, what is the mostly likely near-term outcome for the US economy?
选项:
A.Lower inflation and higher real growth B.Stable inflation and stable real growth C.Higher inflation and lower real growth解释:
According to the Taylor rule, the expected nominal policy rate target of 5.25% is too low. If the central bank does not raise rates to the 7.75% implied by the Taylor rule, the economy would likely grow too fast and this could cause a significant tightening in the output gap of the economy. This environment is unsustainable and will likely lead to higher inflation and weaker real growth.
i = rneutral + πe + 0.5(𝑌e – 𝑌trend) + 0.5(πe – πtarget)
Where:
i = target nominal policy rate
rneutral = real policy rate that would be targeted if growth is expected to be at trend and inflation on target
πe, πtarget = the expected and target inflation rates
𝑌e, 𝑌trend = the expected and trend real GDP growth rates
Using the information provided, the target nominal policy rate is
i = 2.50% + 3.5% + 0.5(5.0% – 3.0%) + 0.5(3.5% – 2.0%)
i = 7.75%
我算出来央行实际应该target的利率更高,现在制定低了,相当于扩张政策,刺激过度。利率低,过度刺激经济,物价上涨,经济为啥短期内不会更快吗?长期降低,谢谢。
