We also set up and tested Taylor rules which incorporate money growth and the euro-dollar exchange rate, thereby improving the ?fit? between actual and Taylor rule based rates. In general, Taylor rules appear to be a much better way of describing Fed policy than ECB policy. Simulations suggest that the ECB?s short-term interest rates have been at a much lower level in the last two years compared with what a Taylor rule would suggest.enghttp://opus.uni-hohenheim.de/doku/lic_ubh.phpEuropean Central BankFederal reserveMonetary policyTaylor rule330Europäische ZentralbankUSA / Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve SystemGeldpolitikTaylor-RegelHow the ECB and the US fed set interest ratesWorkingPaper282576150urn:nbn:de:bsz:100-opus-1994
