Uncovering the Goodhart's Law: Theory and Evidence

Yosuke Takeda () and Atsuko Ueda

No 162, 2006 Meeting Papers from Society for Economic Dynamics

Abstract: This paper addresses the Goodhart's Law in a cash-in-advance economy with monetary policy regime switching. Using the Japanese data of the money velocity, we found that although our cash-credit model fails to generate a downward trend in the actual velocity, the model succeeds in terms of velocity's variation and correlations with money growth rates or nominal interest rates, with procyclicality of velocity unpredictable.
