Question 2. AD-AS Analysis with an Alternative Policy Rule. This questionwill have you derive a version of the aggregate demand curve under alternativeassumptions about how the Fed conducts policy.Assume that the IS curve assumes the usual form:Y =С − mpc × T +Ī+Ğ1 - mpc1d.mpcXP,where Y is output, ris the real interest rate, and the remaining parameters utilizethe same notion that we used in class. Suppose that the Fed's actions are summarizedby the following monetary policy curve:r=r+ax (Y−YP) + X XT, where YP is potential output, π is the inflation rate, and is the autonomouscomponent of monetary policy. Assume that the short-run aggergate supply curveassumes the usual form:π = π² + y(Y - Yº) + p,where is expected inflation, and p is an inflationary shock.a) Why would the output gap enter into the Fed's moetary policy rule?Would you expect a to be positive or negative, why? How would you interpreta and λ?b) Combine the IS curve and the monetary policy curve to obtain anaggregate demand curve. That is, express output Y as a function of inflationT. (This expression will also contain the exogenous quantities C, I, G,T,and T as well as potential output Yº and the parameters mpc, d, a and""lambda .)c) How does a affect the sensitivity of Y to changes in π ? If πincreases by one, then by how much does Y change?d) Suppose that the aggregate demand curve and the aggregate supplycurve intersect at a value of Y that's greater than Yº. What curve (orcurves) shift to return the economy to a long-run equilibrium, and why? Drawa graph of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to show how the economyadjusts. What happens to inflation and output?

The output gap would enter the fed's monetary policy because along with inflation targeting and…

Occasionally, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)sets a policy designed to “track” the interest rate. This meansthat the FOMC is pursuing policies designed to keep the interestrate constant.
