Research suggests that macroeconomic factors can explain the dynamics of interest rates in the economy.
Suppose we are interested in understanding whether inflation plays a role in explaining interest rates. Fitting a
line between the current nominal interest rate i and current inflation we obtain:
i = 0.041 -0.147
What is the expected level of interest rates when inflation is at the level of 4%?
The country of Freeland has an aggregate demand curve determined by the equation
M + U = 6%
Freeland also has a potential growth rate of 2%.
Using this information, draw Freeland's aggregate demand (AD) and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curves on the graph.

How do you think the GDP, the
unemployment rate and the inflation rate are
related to each other in the emerging
markets? Do you think these relationships are
different in the Turkish context? Explain.
The interest rates are considerably higher in
Turkey. How do you think the high interest
rates affect the ĠDP, the unemployment rate
and the inflation rate?
