FEDS论文：多时点预测面板中泰勒规则的优化估计

Edward Herbst and Karen PageMultiple-horizon forecast panels are increasingly used to infer perceived monetary policy rules, but inference depends on how coefficients are pooled across forecasters, dates, and horizons. We treat this pooling structure as the object of inference. In a participant-date-horizon Taylor-rule regression model, we compare pooling patterns using Bayesian marginal likelihoods, applying the framework to the Blue Chip Financial Forecasts, Survey of Professional Forecasters, and the Summary of Economic Projections. The preferred specifications place much of the systematic variation in policy-rate forecasts in intercepts that vary across forecast horizons and survey dates. Evidence of "changing perceptions" of monetary policy via economically meaningful time-varying response coefficients is weak overall.
