    Abstract

    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.
