Identifying Policy-makers' Objectives
註釋This paper develops a new way to test hypotheses about policy-makers' economic targets, and implements that test for Canadian monetary policy. The methodology described focusses on the idea that the forecastable component of a variable is a measure of the policy target of a rational policy authority, and that the distance between the forecastable component of a variable and its hypothesized target can be used to construct a test of the particular target. Results are presented for tests related to targeting of inflation and of gross domestic product.
