Monetary Policy Rules for Russia
Akram Esanov, Christian Merkl and Lúcio Vinhas de Souza ()
Abstract: The paper reviews the recent conduct of monetary policy
and the central bank’s rule-based behavior in Russia. Using different
policy rules, we test whether the central bank in Russia reacts to changes
in inflation, output gap and the exchange rate in a consistent and
predictable manner. Our results indicate that during the period of
1993-2002 the Bank of Russia has used monetary aggregates as a main policy
instrument in conducting monetary policy.
