Consider a standard AD-AS model. Suppose that the central bank lost credibility in the sense that people no longer believe its inflation target (that is, inflation expectations are not `anchored'). In this case, a permanently higher inflation target leads to a short-run increase in output but no long-run increase in output. Answer True or False. Remember to include your explanation.

In a certain economy, the Dynamic Aggregate Supply (DAS) line is represented by the function = - π₁ = Ę ₁ = ₁ π + α ( Y₁ − Ÿ) + D and the inflation expectations formation mechanism is adaptive, that is, E₁+1 Absent a supply shock (v₁ = 0), in a figure representing period t inflation rate, π, on the vertical axis, and period t output, Y₁, on the horizontal axis, the period t DAS line will pass through the pair of points, : OA.

How do new Keynesian ideas about price setting and inflation expectations affect the short-run aggregate supply curve? Explain.
How would the AD/AS model be different if it assumed rational expectations rather than adaptive expectations? Define and give an example of each.
true or false Suppose that the central bank lost credibility in the sense that people no longer believe its inflation target (that is, inflation expectations are not `anchored’). In this case, both short-run output and long-run output do not increase in response to a permanently higher inflation target.
According to the rational-expectations approach, if everyone believes that policymakers are committed to reducing inflation, the cost of reducing inflation—the sacrifice ratio—will be lower than if the public is skeptical about the policymakers’ intentions. Why might this be true? How might credibility be achieved?
Inflationary expectations are an important driver of the Phillips curve relationship. What are three different ways inflationary expectations might be modelled? Depict each graphically.
Compared to the Adaptive Expectations Theory, the Rational Expectations Theory A) asserts the same conclusions about policy activism.B) implies that policy activism is less effectiveC) implies that policy activism is more effective.D) asserts that people cannot anticipate the effects of policies in advance.E) the inflation arising from an expansionary policy will be less.
Question Two Policy makers can respond to shocks in two possible ways i.e. no policy response and policy stabilisation of economic activity and inflation. Use the AS- AD framework to demonstrate how aggregate output and inflation would perform following an aggregate demand shock accompanied by monetary policy stabilisation measures Show how the outputs above would differ in case of a permanent shock on supply using the AD-AS framework. Discuss the adage that inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. What are some of the practical limitations of this assertion
