This paper analyses nowcasting of manetary policy in an uncertain data environment.Nowcasting induces a relative asymmetry-a ratio of asymmetric preference for output nowcasting to the one for inflation in real-time.We propose a nowcasting Taylor rule to eliminate biases in the asymmetric...

This paper provides a piece of results regarding asymmetric forecasting and commitment monetary policy with a robust control algorithm. Previous studies provide no clarification of the connection between asymmetric preference and robust commitment policy. Three results emerge from general...
