Between the time a monetary instrument is adjusted and its ultimate effect on economic activity has occurred there are observable movements in other important economic variables such as monetary aggregates or interest rates. These variables may be used as intermediate targets if immediately subject to influence by policy and if their movements affect output or prices. If the variable does not cause output or prices, it may still be useful as an information variable if its movements consistently lead movements in the variables the Federal Reserve wishes to influence. Friedman and Kuttner (1992, 1993) sparked a healthy debate as to which variables are good candidates for intermediate targets or information variables. The candidates they considered to explain movements in industrial production included a price index, a monetary aggregate and the difference between the commercial paper rate and the treasury bill rate (the “paper-bill spread”). Using F-statistics to determine whether a particular variable provided information content, Friedman and Kuttner concluded that the paper-bill spread was a good candidate as it contained significant information content for industrial production regardless of sample: “[t]he spread is a predictor of real economic activity, not prices, and of nominal magnitudes only to the extent that they reflect real ones” (1993, p. 214). In contrast, they argued that money is related to neither real nor nominal income fluctuations and concluded that money is not a reasonable candidate as its information content broke-down in samples that included the 1980s. Monetary aggregates being “unreliable indicators of economic activity and as guides for stabilizing prices” has also been argued by Akhtar (1997, p. 4).
