NAIRU game

Posted by Tiago On August - 15 - 2009

Recently, the Federal Reserve of the USA hired a lobbyist to advance its cause in Congress. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco contributes to the campaign to regain public trust by way of a web gamegr. The game invites one to be a Fed Chairman and set the Federal Funds Rate against a shock (permanent, or temporary, contraction or expansion), the player needs to adjust the hydraulics to keep the time series close to the target inflation rate, i.e. keeping employment at the “natural” rate.

About Me

I am an historian of recent Economics. I am interested in the impact the ideas of economists have had on public imagination and our democracies. I am a very occasional blogger, an even more erratic twitter. You might see me cycling in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
