The importance of using rather than saving your ammunition in the presence of the zero lower bound. Suppose inflation is described by the accelerations Phillips curve, and that output is determined by a simple IS curveInitially, the central bank is setting the nominal interest rate at a strictly positive level: i(0) > 0. Assume(a) Suppose the central bank keeps i constant at i (0). Sketch the behavior of inflation and output over time.(b) Suppose the central bank keeps i constant at i (0) until some time when bπ(t) < 0, and then permanently reduces i to zero. Sketch the behavior of inflation and output over time.(c) Suppose the central bank permanently reduces i to zero at t = 0. Sketch the behavior of inflation and output over time.(d) Explain your results intuitively.
Using the data in the table, integrate the expected relationship of the behavior of inflation with the phases of the economic cycle. You must use the different levels of inflation rate with economic growth and construct graphs to present your analysis arguments.

A. What assumptions did Thomas Sargent make when he claimed that inflation is always and everywhere a fiscal phenomenon?" B. Why is it appropriate in the book's short-term model for the author to use the Phillips Curve as an Aggregate Supply curve? Does it capture the working of the labor market as well as an AS curve based, say, on sticky wages? C. Provide an example of the book's short-run model being based on "microfoundations."
Suppose the public believes that a newly announcedanti-inflation program will work and so lowers itsexpectations of future inflation. What will happen toaggregate output and the inflation rate in the short run?
The CPI tracks the average change in prices of a basket of goods and services overtime, whereas the UNRATE is the percentage of the labour force that is unemployed.By examining the cointegration between these two variables, you can gain insightsinto the relationship between inflation and unemployment in the US economy. Thequarterly series is complete and seasonally adjusted. a) From a theoretical perspective, are these two series expected to becointegrated? Justify your answer. b)How do expectations about future economic conditions influence the speed ofadjustment? Are there any other factors that might affect the speed of adjustment?
Assume that α = β = 1, derive the MR curve graphically using the tangencies between the loss circles and the Phillips curves. With reference to the diagrams, explain the effect of the following (in each case, assume all other parameters are held constant):(a) An increase in the slope of the Phillips curve, α (b) An increase in central bank’s inflation aversion, β.
Consider a model that includes IS-LM, inflationary augmented Philips curve, labour market and production function. Assume supply of labour is a function of after-tax real wages. Show that quantity theory of money applies in this model.
Describe in detail the costs of inflation. Be sure to differentiate betweenexpected and unexpected inflation and explain the costs involved with both.
