2008 Financial Crisis And The Deviation From The Taylor Rule, Uzoma H. Okoye
2008 Financial Crisis And The Deviation From The Taylor Rule, Uzoma H. Okoye
Honors College Theses
In this paper, we derive possible causes of the 2008 financial crisis, as well as provide evidence of a possible deviation from the Taylor rule by the Federal Reserve. This research draws up mostly primary sources such as published books and speeches by John B. Taylor himself, as well as articles from academic journals related to the topic. Other prior research tends to take a side on the argument as to whether the Federal Reserve deviated or not. This paper serves as a descriptive analysis of different sides of the argument to come up with suggestions regarding the Fed’s actions.
