The government would set its targeted interest at 6.5%
Based on the Taylor's rule
R = π + A + 0.5(A-A*) + 0.5
This is the formula that helps to get the output gap
<u>Definition of terms</u>
R is the nominal federal funds rate
π is the real rate of federal funds = 2%
A is the rate of inflation
A* is the target of of inflation = 2%
Rate of unemployment = 3%
The government has a target of full employment that is at 4 percent.
When we enter the values into the formula
R = 2% + 3% + 0.5(3%-2%) + 0.5%(2%)
= 5% + 0.5% + 1%
= 6.5%
Therefore the government would set its targeted interest at 6.5%
