It is also in the files folder under the name Short Run and the Long Run. The graph pertains to a hypothetical country. Marginal propensity in this country is MPC = 0.75. The central bank in this country (also called the Fed) follows an inflation targeting policy. The current target inflation rate in 8 percent. The natural rate of unemployment is 5 percent and Okun's alpha is 8. Finally the central bank comes to its senses (as the U.S. FED did in 1982) and realizes that 8 percent inflation target is way too high. So it decides to reduce the long-term target inflation rate to 2 percent through a drastic contractionary monetary policy. This policy causes the inflation rate to drop to Moreover, a cyclical…
