PB - National Bureau of Economic Research N1 - August 1990; Hardcopy version available to institutional subscribers N2 - This paper critically evaluates the Federal Reserve's p* model of inflation, and develops a model of national income determination implicit in the p* formulation. We use this model to forecast the future paths of key macroeconomic variables and investigate its behavior under a variety of deterministic monetary policy rules. These forecasts and policy simulations suggest a dynamic economic behavior inconsistent with stylized facts, and lead us to question the underlying structure of the p* formulation UR - https://www.nber.org/papers/w3406 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.3386/w3406 ER -
