Abstract
⺠First study which analyzes the herding behavior of monetary policy makers. ⺠Strong evidence of anti-herding of the FOMC's forecasts of the inflation rate. ⺠Anti-herding behavior is more important for nonvoting members than for voters. ⺠Supports that nonvoters make extreme forecasts to influence the policy decisions.
