1. Disinflation and credibility

Assume output is initially at its equilibrium level and inflation is 12%. Show this on a PC-MR diagram and explain why monetary policy might generate such a high level of inflation.

There is then a policy change and the central bank announces it will target equilibrium output and an inflation rate of 2%

(a) If the policy change is perfectly credible, what will its impact be if

(i) Agents have rational expectations

(b) Why might the policy not be credible? How will your answers to (a) change in this case?

(c) Read Carlin and Soskice Ch3 Section 2.6 and discuss the different ways policymakers can achieve disinflation, and their merits.

(d) What are the implications for the design of monetary policy frameworks?

2. Monetary policy in practice
