Hey, I need help with a macroeconomics problem. Thank you in advance!The questions are based on a Feb 1, 2023 statement by the Federal Reserve (attatched below)Effects mentioned in question:- Inflation is expected to increase- The Committee's choice to raise the target range for the federal funds rate and potentially keep on expanding it in the future recommends that they might be taking a more restrictive stance on monetary policy.How do the effects you you previously found align with what the Fed was hoping to attain? FEDERAL RESERVE press releaseFor release at 2:00 p.m. ESTFFEDERAL DESERVESFebruary 1, 2023Recent indicators point to modest growth in spending and production. Job gains havebeen robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation has easedsomewhat but remains elevated.LASRussia's war against Ukraine is causing tremendous human and economic hardship and iscontributing to elevated global uncertainty. The Committee is highly attentive to inflation risks.The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of2 percent over the longer run. In support of these goals, the Committee decided to raise thetarget range for the federal funds rate to 4-1/2 to 4-3/4 percent. The Committee anticipates thatongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate in order to attain a stance of monetarypolicy that is sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2 percent over time. In determining theextent of future increases in the target range, the Committee will take into account thecumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economicactivity and inflation, and economic and financial developments. In addition, the Committee willcontinue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities, as described in its previously announced plans. The Committee is stronglycommitted to returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue tomonitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committeewould be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that -2-could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will takeinto account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions,inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams,Vice Chair; Michael S. Barr; Michelle W. Bowman; Lael Brainard; Lisa D. Cook; Austan D.Goolsbee; Patrick Harker; Philip N. Jefferson; Neel Kashkari; Lorie K.

IMF upgrades outlook for the global economy in 2023 Published: Wednesday | February 1, 2023 | 12:34 AM The outlook for the global economy is growing slightly brighter as China eases its zero-COVID policies and the world shows surprising resilience in the face of high inflation, elevated interest rates and Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine. That’s the view of the International Monetary Fund, IMF, which now expects the world economy to grow 2.9 per cent this year. That forecast is better than the 2.7 per cent expansion for 2023 that the IMF predicted in October, though down from the estimated 3.4 per cent growth in 2022. The IMF noted that the world economy still faces serous risks. They include the possibility that Russia’s war against Ukraine war will escalate, that China will suffer a sharp increase in COVID cases and that high interest rates will cause a financial crisis in debt-laden countries. ### i.

1. Inflation is increasingly becoming a concern among economists. One of the heads of Bank of America has predicted that consumer prices will increase by 8% by the end of 2021. Using the AD/SRAS/LRAS graph show how inflation will effect the AD curve. (Start the graph at the macroequilibrium point and show the changes) 2. In the graph that you have drawn in question 1, what is the state of the economy? Using fiscal policy,explain how would you bring the economy back to the macroequilibrium point. 3. In the graph that you have drawn in question 1, what is the state of the economy? Using monetary policy, explain how would you bring the economy back to the macroequilibrium point.
