Remarks on John Taylor’s Contributions

John Taylor is of course one of the world’s most influential academic commentators on monetary policy and, I might say, one whose judgements most (if not all) of us on the SOMC usually agree with to a very great extent.  One of his most notable accomplishments is, of course, the development of the well-known “Taylor Rule” as a guideline for the conduct of monetary policy.  Almost every one in this room is, I suspect, at least somewhat familiar with this proposed policy rule.
