Аннотация:This paper proposes a novel procedure for uniting the identification of monetary policy shocks and natural interest rate shocks. The Russian economy of the 2014–2019 inflation‐targeting period is an empirical application of the approach. The model results allow us to make a number of policy conclusions: (i) unlike other papers on the Russian economy there is no output or price puzzles; (ii) over the past six years, monetary policy in Russia has become more predictable; (iii) the monetary transmission period from the key rate to inflation is six to eight months; (iv) monetary policy explains almost 20% of the inflation dynamics, while the natural interest rate explains around 40% of inflation; (v) the estimated natural interest rate declined from 2014 to 2019 following the global trends of declining interest rates; and (vi) the Bank of Russia follows mandate and reacts to inflation under the monetary policy feedback rule without responding to output fluctuations.
