Business cycles and Taylor rules in the euro area

Cycles économiques et règles de Taylor en zone euro

Eco Notepad from Banque de France

Abstract: The Taylor rules provide guideline recommendations for policy interest rates based on the deviation between macroeconomic variables and their target or potential levels. They can be calculated for each of the euro area countries. Although significantly divergent at the height of the sovereign debt crisis, there has been a clear convergence since 2014, reflecting the resynchronisation of business cycles in the euro area.

Les règles de Taylor offrent des recommandations indicatives de taux d’intérêt directeurs, fondées sur l’écart entre variables macroéconomiques et leur cible ou leur niveau potentiel. Elles peuvent être calculées pour chacun des pays de la zone euro. En forte divergence au pic de la crise des dettes souveraines, elles convergent nettement depuis 2014, reflétant la resynchronisation des cycles économiques en zone euro.
