      The performance of a simple monetary policy rule, which does not rely on explicit information about the output gap but instead uses the change in the rate of inflation as a proxy for the output gap, is explored in a simple ...

      This paper examines the performance of inflation forecast feedback rules in a two-sector, calibrated model of the U.K. economy. Under such rules, the interest rate responds to the deviation of the unchanged-interest-rate ...
