''Further empirical evidence of nonlinearity in the us monetary policy rule''
( 2010, Vol. 30 No.3 )
 
 
Given conflicting results on whether the US monetary policy rule exhibited nonlinearity in the post-war period we employ a new Granger non-causality nonlinearity test and non-parametric procedures to re-examine the issue. Both procedures suggest that the Fed followed a nonlinear Taylor rule with respect to expected inflation and expected output gap prior to 1979 but not post 1982.
