''Nonlinear Taylor rule for the European Central Bank''
( 2014, Vol. 34 No.3 )
 
 
In this paper I add to the evidence on possible nonlinearities in the conduct of ECB monetary policy. For this purpose a nonlinear Taylor rule (threshold regression) was estimated and compared to a linear benchmark model. The estimation was carried out with output gap data computed from quarterly GDP time series. The results show that a nonlinear Taylor rule fits the data better than a linear one.
