Altogether, this paper provides empirical support for asymmetric preferences and suggests
some caution about using symmetric loss functions as a guide to policy analysis. Promising
strands of the literature have recently emphasized that political pressures, labor market fric-
tions and heterogeneity in portfolio holdings can make the costs of business fluctuations and
inflation variation asymmetric. Along these lines, a stimulating avenue for future research is
to derive an utility-based welfare function within richer models of the business cycle in order
to provide a formal microfoundation for an asymmetric central bank objective.
