- After a series of measures to remedy the mortgage crisis that has beset the US economy, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and his colleagues are once again looking at cutting the central bank’s key interest rate as they hope that lowering the interest rates will give the economy a boost by encouraging investors and consumers to borrow and spend (Associated Press, n. pag.). The Fed is looking at slashing the interest rate by a full percent however, many economist believe that this is not the appropriate remedy for economic conundrum (Gavin, n. pag). According to many analysts, the issue of the economy regarding the mortgage is the lack of confidence by both the lender and the borrower. Even as the Fed resorts to drastic interest cuts, the first time the central bank has cut a full percentage point in one shot since 1982, this provides little help if lenders are not loaning money out of fear they will not be repaid and the borrowers…arrow_forwardBriefly state two reasons why inflation may be considered to be an economic problem.arrow_forwardDo you think continued inflation is a demand-side phenomenon or a supply-side phenomenon?

- Economists sometimes argue that moderate inflation may help the economy by making wages in labor markets more ["", "", ""] . The discussion in the text pointed out that wages tend to be sticky in their downward movements and that unemployment can result. A little inflation could nibble away at ["", ""] wages, and thus help real wages to ["", ""] if necessary. In this way, even if a moderate or high rate of inflation may act as sand in the gears of the economy, perhaps a low rate of inflation serves as oil for the gears of the labor market. This argument is controversial. A full analysis would have to account for all the effects of inflation. It does, however, offer another reason to believe that, all things considered, very low rates of inflation may not be especially harmful.arrow_forwardFully explain why unanticipated inflation can decrease the level of economic activityarrow_forwardBriefly describe and explain how the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) impactthe inflation rate?arrow_forward
