The shocks are based on a new measure of high-frequency GDP forecast revision s that I construct from the text of newspaper articles. I recover the shoc ks from a model of how Fed announcements determine interest-rate and GDP e xpectations\, identified with a discrete change in Fed communication polic y: the introduction of interest-rate forward guidance. The estimated effec ts of monetary policy and information provision are large\, robust\, and c onsistent with macroeconomic theory.\n DTSTART:20221118T203000Z DTEND:20221118T220000Z LOCATION:Room 429\, Leacock Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2T7\, 855 r ue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Miguel Acosta (Federal Reserve Board)\, 'The Perceived Causes of Mo netary Policy Surprises' URL:/economics/channels/event/miguel-acosta-federal-re serve-board-perceived-causes-monetary-policy-surprises-340413 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
