摘要
This paper examines the information content of COPOM decisions by estimating the responses of the term structure to changes in target short-term interest rates on COPOM meeting days. Within an event-study approach empirical evidence suggests that the introduction of the floating exchange rate and the inflation targeting (IT) regime have had a dampening effect on interest rate surprises along the term structure.
