The inflation rate was high and increasing, while interest rates were kept low. [6] Since the mid-1970s monetary targets have been used in many countries as a means to target inflation. [7] However, in the 2000s the actual interest rate in advanced economies, notably in the US, was kept below the value suggested by the Taylor rule. [8]
The most influential reaction function is the Taylor rule, developed by economist John Taylor in 1993.The rule provides a systematic formula for setting the nominal interest rate based on four key variables: The deviation of current inflation rate from the central bank's target; The current inflation rate itself; The equilibrium real interest rate; and the output gap, measured as the ...
The Taylor Rule describes the central bank interest rate as a function of inflation, and a measure of economic activity. More precisely, the target federal funds rate equals the long term real interest rate, plus the current inflation rate, plus coefficients multiplied by the deviations between real and target inflation and the deviations ...

Annual inflation ticked up for a third straight month in December as food, energy costs rose, CPI report showed. But underlying price measure eased. Inflation rose to 5-month high in December.
A key stipulation of the Taylor rule, sometimes called the Taylor principle, [32] is that the nominal interest rate should increase by more than one percentage point for each one-percent rise in inflation. Some empirical estimates indicate that many central banks today act approximately as the Taylor rule prescribes, but violated the Taylor ...
The Taylor rule also prescribes economic activity regulation by choosing the federal funds rate based on the inflation gap between desired (targeted) inflation rate and actual inflation rate; and the output gap between the actual and natural level.
