This paper ofers an alternative explanation for the rise and fall of postwar US infationby measuring a novel source of monetary policy time-inconsistency due to Cukierman. Inthe presence of asymmetric preferences, the monetary authorities end up generating a systematic infation bias through the private sector expectations of a larger policy response in recessions than in booms. Reduced-form estimates of US monetary policy rules indicate that while the in‡ation target declines from 3:42% to 1:96%, the in‡ation bias drops from 1:01% to a value not statistically di¤erent from zero moving from the pre- to the post-Volcker regime. This result can be rationalized in terms of the preference on output stabilization, which is found to be asymmetric in the former but not in the latter period.
