## Resource

In this episode of Monetary Policy Explained, Lucas and Luna break down the Taylor Rule: the simple equation central bankers use to set interest rates based on inflation and the output gap. Using a concrete example from the Fed's mid-2026 decision-making, they show how the rule's guidance at a 2.1 percent core PCE inflation rate and a 0.8 percent output gap would point to a fed funds rate of roughly 4.3 percent — well above the actual rate of 3.75 percent, highlighting the gap between theory and practice. They discuss critiques from dovish and hawkish camps, how the rule's simplicity can fail during supply shocks, and why the Fed's 'data-dependent' approach still leans heavily on this twenty-year-old framework. No jargon, no textbook — just a clear look at how a simple formula helps run the world's most powerful central bank. #TaylorRule #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRates #CorePCE #OutputGap #CentralBanking #Economics #Inflation #FedFundsRate #NeutralRate #JohnTaylor #PolicyRule #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
