If the current inflation rate is 10% and you are asked to predict the cost of decreasing it to 3% next year. 1)Will it result deflation policy or a disinflation policy? Why? 2) Give an estimate of the cost in terms of output assuming the sacrifice ratio is 4 and explain the economic cost of reducing inflation by drawing the Phillips curve. 3) If an economist says computing the cost of this policy using the sacrifice ratio is not totally correct because people are rational and they will take the new policy into account when forming expectations about the future. Explain this statement and the reason behind it by showing what happens the Phillips curve 4)if people update their expectations about the future instantaneously. How costly would it be to reduce inflation if the adjustment in expectations occurs instantaneously?
