Notes: Standard errors using a four lag Newey-West covariance matrix are reported in
brackets. Inflation is measured as changes in the personal consumption deflator and the
output gap is obtained with the Hodrick-Prescott filter (smoothing parameter = 1600).
The instrument set includes four lags of inflation, squared inflation, output gap, squared
output gap, the fed funds rate and gdp inflation. The asymmetric preference parameters
are computed as α=2c3Zc1 and γ=2c√c2 while the standard errors are obtained using the
delta method. W(n) refers to the Wald statistics of the test for n parameter restrictions,
which is distributed as a χ2(n) under the joint null hypothesis c3=c4=0. The latter is
equivalent to the original null of symmetric central bank preferences, α=γ=0. F-stat
refers to the statistics of the hypothesis testing for weak instruments relative to
inflation and output gap, respectively. J(m) refers to the statistics of Hansen’s test for m
overidentifying restrictions which is distributed as a χ2(m) under the null hypothesis of
valid overidentifying restrictions. The superscript ** and * denote the rejection of the
null hypothesis that the true coefficient is zero at the 1 percent and 5 percent significance
levels, respectively.
