【摘要】：We develop a US monetary policy shock series that bridges periods of conventional and unconventional policymaking and has no central bank information effect. We attribute differences between our measure and well-known alternatives to our econometric procedure, a heteroscedasticity-based partial least squares approach combined with Fama-MacBeth regressions, and our using the full maturity spectrum of interest rates. Furthermore, shocks to monetary policy in series that are devoid of (embody) the information effect display conventionally-signed (perverse) impulse responses of output and inflation, confirming an hypothesis in the literature. Our evidence is of first-order importance to central bank staff modeling of monetary policy.
