We estimate the effect of shifts in monetary policy using the term structure of interest rates. In our no-arbitrage model, the short rate follows a version of the Taylor (1993) rule where the coefficients on the output gap and inflation vary over time. The monetary policy loading on the output...

We estimate Taylor (1993) rules and identify monetary policy shocks using no-arbitrage pricing techniques. Long-term interest rates are risk-adjusted expected values of future short rates and thus provide strong over-identifying restrictions about the policy rule used by the Federal Reserve. The...

What instruments of monetary policy must be used in order to implement a unique equilibrium? This paper revisits the issues addressed by Poole (1970) and Sargent and Wallace (1975) on the multiplicity of equilibria when policy is conducted with either interest rate or money supply rules. We show...
