Monetary policy forecast game

We will forecast the monetary policy decision of the ECB on their June 9 meeting. The winning three students will get some beer or chocolate – their choice – on the last day of class.
You have five opportunities to make a forecast: Each Wednesday during lecture between May 11 and June 8. You can cast your votes on Absalon (under “Quizzes”).
To determine the winners, I will compute the mean squared deviations of your guesses from the actual decision. If you do not cast a vote in any given week, I will use your worst guess to determine the final score.
Feel free to use any information to help you make better guesses – the news, the futures market, an AS/AD model, own research and googling, reading the textbook.
Unfortunately, the way Absalon is set up you can’t cast votes as groups, but let me know if any of you would like to be grouped together and who among you will cast the votes.
