GDP is 1% below potential.
Suppose the actual federal funds rate is equal to the rate implied by a particular inflation goal. In this situation, the Taylor rule implies that
If the Federal Reserve tries to target inflation near 2%, the inflation rate is 3%, and output is 3% below potential GDP, then the target federal funds rate according to the Taylor rule is:
