Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell has expressed that the U.S. Federal Reserve is conducting actively purchasing U.S. government securities out of a desire to INCREASE the U.S. inflation rate up to 2.0 percent per year. In the past, the Federal Reserve has expressed a fear of deflation, which some countries around the world (Japan, and some European nations) have experienced. Use either your statsbook or the internet to provide a description of how the inflation rate for the U.S. has changed over time. In doing so, identify what represents a HIGH inflation rate for the U.S. and what represents a LOW inflation rate.
Q2. Go to the Statistics Canada website https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1810000501 to view the annual average Consumer Price Index for Canada.

Go to the website of Statistics Canada (www.statcan.ca). For each of the past five years, find the inflation rate as measured by the consumer price index (all items)—sometimes called head-line inflation —and as measured by the CPI excluding food and energy—sometimes called core inflation. Compare these two measures of inflation. Why might they be different? What might the difference tell you about shifts in the aggregate supply curve and in the short-run Phillips curve?
