8 Motivation Questions: How much is monetary policy analysis changed by recognizing existence of spreads between different interest rates? How should policy respond to financial shocks that disrupt financial intermediation, dramatically widening spreads? Cúrdia and Woodford () Credit Frictions Halloween / 40
9 Motivation John Taylor (Feb. 2008) has proposed that Taylor rule for policy might reasonably be adjusted, lowering ff rate target by amount of increase in LIBOR-OIS spread Essentially, Taylor rule would specify operating target for LIBOR rate rather than ff rate Would imply automatic adjustment of ff rate in response to spread variations, as under current SNB policy Cúrdia and Woodford () Credit Frictions Halloween / 40
