Abstract

This paper uses the monthly Wall Street Journal poll between 2002 and 2008 to analyze whether professional economic forecasters believe in and, thus, apply Taylor-type rules for their own forecasts. Using their forecasts for the Federal Funds rate, the in ation rate and capacity utilization, we estimate whether those are internally consistent with the message of Taylor(-type) rules. We find that the expectation formation can indeed be described by Taylor-type rules.
