This paper seeks to clarify the ways in which inflation targeting corresponds to a policy rule conceptually, and to … assess the extent to which inflation targeters' policy can be described by policy rules in practice. Using central banks …' inflation and output forecasts, the empirical analysis shows that simple forward-looking instrument rules provide a reasonably …
