We find such a model, which has the form of the Taylor rule. In fact, the main result of the paper points that ECB monetary...

Un primer resultado relevante es que existe dicho modelo y que, de hecho, la política monetaria del BCE en la última década puede ser descrita por una regla de Taylor aunque con una salvedad: el modelo se ajusta convenientemente para dos subperiodos, 1999-2002 y 2007-2009, pero el ajuste no se alcanza para el subperiodo 2003-2006. Además, los parámetros que describen la regla de Taylor son bastante estables en el tiempo, aunque el peso relativo del output es mayor en el subperiodo 2007-2009 que en 1999-2002. A continuación, se calculan los tipos de interés óptimos para algunos países representativos y, especialmente en el primero de los subperíodos y para un conjunto de países que no pertenecen al núcleo de la Eurozona, se constata la existencia de algunas diferencias significativas entre sus tipos de interés óptimos y el tipo de interés establecido por el BCE.Sociedad de Economía MundialUniversidad de Cantabria20132013-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10902/2562Revista de Economía Mundial, 2013, 33, 179-193reponame:UCrea Repositorio Abierto de la Universidad de Cantabriainstname:Universidad de Cantabria (UC)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.unican.es:10902/25622026-06-02T12:39:31Z |

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we try to see whether there is a model that can describe ECB monetary policy in simple, intuitive terms, and whether the model is consistent over time. We find such a model, which has the form of the Taylor rule. In fact, the main result of the paper points that ECB monetary policy in the last decade can indeed be described by a Taylor rule, with a caveat: the model fits the data soundly for two subperiods, 1999-2002 and 2007-2009, but does not work well for 2003-2006. Furthermore, the parameters that describe the Taylor rule are fairly stable over time, although the weight placed in output is slightly larger in 2007-2009 than in 1999-2002. Next, we compute optimal interest rates for some individual representative countries and, especially in the first of the subperiods for a set of countries that do not belong to the core of the Eurozone, find some significant divergences among their optimal interest rates and the rate set by the ECB. |
