Suppose that the central bank has the policy "set R equal to 3 if inflation equals 2% and GAP = 0. Raise R by 0.5 points for every point of inflation above 2%. Reduce R by 0.5 points for every point that inflation falls short of 2%. Increase R by 1 point for every percentage point of GAP, if GAP > 0. Reduce R by 1 point for every percentage point of GAP, if GAP < 0." All but one of the following is an equation that is consistent with this rule. Which is the exception? OR-3+ 0.5( - 2) + GAP OF-2+1.5n + GAP OF-3+0.5(n- 2) + GAP + OR-2+n+GAP

What Can the Fed Do about Inflation? In the article by Thomas Hogan, we learn that Russia's invasion of the Ukraine nor the shortage or supply chain issues has not derived the main causes of inflation. (Hogan, 2022) The main cause for the issues that we have been facing come directly from the constant price changes and the monetary policy that is currently in place. We learn that with Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has not adjusted their monetary policy, and have been raising the rates in such small increments that is causing the inflation to continue in an upward trend. What needs to occur is the FOMC needs to raise interest rates in greater scales in order the combat the inflation that is taking place and stabilize the price levels that are out there. (Hogan, 2022) What needs occur is that the Fed needs to come up with a policy that will allow for a predetermined path that slows down and regulating the money growth back to a safe place. Having the guidance from the article…
