Now go to FRED and search for PCEPI. This is the price index that receives the most attention from the Federal Reserve in terms of fulfilling the nominal part of their dual mandate. Calculate the most recent rate of inflation (12 months) using PCEPI to the nearest two decimal places and compare to the Fed's implicit target of inflation = 2%. Is inflation too high, too low, or just right (circle your answer)? TUPCE= Too high Too low Just right

Suppose that the level of unemployment in the economy is determined by the follow equation: U = 7.55 1.88*(i - ie) Where U is the unemployment rate, i is the actual inflation rate, and it is the expected inflation rate. All variables are entered in percentage form (e.g. if inflation is 30.57%, you plug in 30.57 for i, not 0.3057). Last year, the inflation rate was 7.87%, and people have adaptive expectations. What does the inflation rate need to be this year in order for the unemployment rate to be 2.81%? Note: Everything is already in percentage form. You do not need to multiply or divide by 100 at any point. Enter in your answer as it is calculated in the equation. Round your final answer to two decimal places.
What is disinflation? What are the two leading causes of inflation? Where online do you find inflation rate data?
Suppose the nominal interest rate on savings accounts is 12% per year, and both actual and expected inflation are equal to 5%. Complete the first row of the table by filling in the expected real interest rate and the actual real interest rate before any change in the money supply. Time Period Before increase in MS Immediately after increase in MS Nominal Interest Rate (Percent) 12 12 Expected Inflation (Percent) 5 5 The unanticipated change in inflation arbitrarily benefits Actual Inflation (Percent) 5 10 Expected Real Interest Rate (Percent) Actual Real Interest Rate (Percent) Now suppose the Fed unexpectedly increases the growth rate of the money supply, causing the inflation rate to rise unexpectedly from 5% to 10% per year. Complete the second row of the table by filling in the expected and actual real interest rates on savings accounts immediately after the increase in the money supply (MS). Now consider the long-run impact of the change in money growth and inflation. According to…

Supply chain bottlenecks are likely to persist in 2022. The Federal Reserve is going to raise interest rates immediately. The Federal Reserve also announced a plan to start winding down another effort it undertook to help the economy through the pandemic: its purchases of at least $120 billion worth of bonds each month.

Questıon One Zambia has adopted an inflation targeting framework to manage its monetary policy. Using your knowledge of money and banking, elaborate on the key features of the inflation targeting framework and also bring out the positives and negative aspects of such a framework. What key gaps can you isolate that exist in the conduct of inflation targeting for Zambia? You have been appointed as Chief Executive Officer for one of the largest Banks in Zambia. As your first task, you will need to review the Bank’s credit management policies. Based on the paper by George Akerlof on the “Market for Lemons”, write an advisory note (no more than one page) on how the bank can address the challenges of information Asymmetry, Adverse Selection and the Moral Hazard problem in the context of a commercial bank. Ensure to provide practical examples in your illustration.
The Bank of Sweden inflation target is 2 % - which is a very common central bank goal. Why is it not zero percent?
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?
This is commonly described as "too much money chasing too few goods." More accurately, it should be described as involving "too much money spent chasing too few goods," since only money that is spent on goods and services can cause inflation. It is the opposite of cost-push inflation.
