John Taylor, the Mary and Robert Raymond Professor of Economics at Stanford University and the George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Economics at the Hoover Institution, was the moderator. PAPER SUMMARY The Federal Reserve Board started a strategy review at the beginning of 2025 and intends to complete by late summer of 2025. After its only previous review, the Federal Open Market Committee adopted a far-reaching Revised Statement on Longer-Run Goals and Monetary Policy Strategy in August 2020. We analyze and develop policy rules that are either in accord with the original 2012 statement or inspired by the revised 2020 statement and use the rules to evaluate monetary policy using the Federal Reserve Board/United States model. We evaluate policy rules categorized by traditional, shortfalls, Asymmetric Coefficient Inflation Targeting, and Asymmetric Target Inflation Targeting versions of non-inertial and inertial Taylor and balanced approach rules. Economic performance is better with balanced approach rules than with Taylor rules, worse with shortfalls rules than with traditional rules, better with inertial rules than with non-inertial rules, and better with the two asymmetric inflation targeting rules than with traditional rules.
