This paper examines recent work on the identification of monetary policy disturbances. Its main finding is that the empirical anomalies found in the literature reflect a failure to properly address the Federal Reserve's policy of accommodating reserve demand shocks. A new method of identifying monetary policy using nonborrowed reserves is proposed. Using this specification — policy has a strong persistent liquidity effect regardless of subsample — policy Granger-causes output even in the presence of interest rates, explaining approximately 49% of the variance in output at a two-year horizon — and the residual explanatory power of interest rates for output is negligible.
