Raise or lower interest rates just like the feds and see the results on inflation and employment. A little teaching game. Interesting results


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Chit/Chat; Humor
KEYWORDS: deflation; fed; inflation; monetarypolicy
Plug in current interest rates over time and see what happens!

When the collapse comes, the finer pointing and circle jerk will be epic.

Fed guru reappointed. Solid policies sustain economic recovery.

Even I could be chairman of the Fed.

As drivers say when their car goes out of control, “I’m just along for the ride now”. That’s how it is now with our economy.

I had 0 percent interest, a 3.57 unemployment rate and a 1.43 inflation rate.

But I got fired?!

The game is fun, but it is based on a Keynesian model. In particular, assumptions about the Phillips Curve seem to be what drives the results.
