In the simple monetary policy rule considered in Chapter 13, what role does the parameter m_bar (letter “m” with a short bar above it) play?
It stands for the rate of inflation
It tells us how unemployment changes when output changes
It governs how aggressively monetary policy responds to inflation
None of the above (i.e., something else)
In 1966, Milton Friedman wrote, as he often did, some memorable lines that have entered the lexicon of economic quotables. As Friedman correctly put it in a book chapter titled “What Price Guideposts?”: “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, resulting from and accompanied by a rise in the quantity of money relative to output…. It follows that the only effective way to stop inflation is to restrain the rate of growth of the quantity of money.”
While true, Friedman’s classic statement doesn’t tell us anything about what drives the growth of the money supply that fuels inflation. Hyperinflations are rather rare. The first hyperinflation occurred in France, where the mandate collapsed. In August 1796, France’s monthly inflation rate peaked at 304%. Almost half of the 58 recorded hyperinflations occurred in the 1990's and were the result of the funding deficiencies associated with the new post-communist states. Today, there is only one hyperinflation, Venezuela’s.

- 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.
