Reserve Accounting and Variability in the Federal Funds Market

Thomas Cosimano ()

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 1987, vol. 19, issue 2, 198-209

Abstract: The federal-funds market is analyzed under the reserve accounting procedures suggested by Robert D. Laurent (1979) and William Poole (1976). In general, it is shown that the forecast error for the federal-funds rate is smaller when the uncertainty arises from future random shocks. However, the current forecast error for the demand for money has an ambiguous impact on the forecast error for the federal-funds rate under Laurent or Poole's procedure.
