Mind-changes at the FOMC

Alessandro Riboni and Francisco Ruge-Murcia

Economics Letters, 2019, vol. 184, issue C

Abstract: This paper develops a model of committee decision-making where members of different expertise deliberate and share private information prior to voting. The model predicts that members truthfully reveal their private information and are willing to “change their minds” as a result of deliberation. The predictions of the model are evaluated using data from the Federal Open Market Committee.
