| Abstract: | This study investigates the impact of several different factors on the credibility of the Federal Reserve's monetary targets. Two factors explain why the targets became less credible during the 1980's: the Fed's shift from M1 to M2 targets reduced credibility because the latter aggregate is less controllable; velocity instability caused the Fed to widen the target ranges which signaled that they were placing less weight on monetary targets in the conduct of monetary policy. |
