This document summarizes a paper that analyzes whether central banks should modify their interest rate policy rules (like the Taylor rule) to account for credit spreads or credit volumes. The paper uses a New Keynesian economic model modified to include financial frictions like heterogeneous households and credit markets. It finds that adjusting the policy rate in response to changes in credit spreads or volumes can improve outcomes in response to financial disturbances, but such adjustments may not help or could hurt in response to other disturbance types. The paper concludes by discussing the model and outlining the analysis that will be conducted using the model to evaluate modified policy rules.
