But interest rate uncertainty could reflect uncertainty about the strategy for the path of the policy rate (the central bank&#8217;s &#8220;reaction function&#8221;)<br \/>or uncertainty about the macroeconomic fundamentals that the central bank is targeting. This paper aims to disentangle these two distinct sources of uncertainty. To this end I estimate a structural VAR that models explicitly the endogenous relationships between<br \/>key macroeconomic variables and forecaster uncertainty about interest rates, inflation and output growth. I identify the causal effects of uncertainty through a combination of sign restrictions, external variables, and narrative restrictions on the structural<br \/>shocks. I find that shocks to inflation and output growth uncertainty are contractionary, with the effects of inflation uncertainty being largest and most persistent. By contrast, I find no evidence for material macroeconomic effects of monetary policy uncertainty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tallinna Tehnika\u00fclikooli majandusanal\u00fc\u00fcsi ja rahanduse instituudi avatud teadusseminarid toimuvad tavaliselt kuu teisel ja neljandal kolmap\u00e4eval nii kohapealse kui ka veebis osalemisv\u00f5imalusega, kui ei ole teatatud teisiti.
