| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines policy deviations from linear Taylor (hereafter as: T.) rules motivated by the risk management approach followed by the Fed during the Greenspan era. A non-linear monetary policy rule is estimated through a logistic smoothing transition regression model with policy-makers' (herein as: p-ms.) judgment driving the transition across policy regimes. It is found that ignoring judgment-induced non-linearities while estimating T. rules has remarkable costs as to the fit: above 250 bps in 10 quarters. Despite linear T. rules describe well the lines of monetary policy, they do not detect relevant policy decisions driven by p-ms.' judgment. |
