1. Suppose that an economy has the Phillips curve:
and that the natural rate of unemployment is given by an average of the past two years' unemployment:
a. Why might the natural rate of unemployment depend on recent unemployment (as is assume in the preceding equation)?
b. Suppose that the Fed follows a policy to reduce permanently the inflation rate by 1 percentage point. What effect will that policy have on the unemployment rate over time?
c. What is the sacrifice ratio in this economy? Explain
d. What do these equations imply about the short run and long run tradeoffs between inflation and unemployment?
4. Suppose that people's expectations of inflation are subject to random shocks. That is, instead of being merely adaptive, expected inflation in period t, as seen in period t-1 is 
where ηt-1 is a random shock. This shock is normally zero, but it deviates from zero when some event beyond past inflation causes expected inflation to change. Similarly, 
.
a. Derive the two equations for dynamic aggregate demand and dynamic aggregate supply in this slightly more general model.
b. Suppose that the economy experiences an inflation scare. That is, in period t, for some reason people come to believe that inflation in period t+1 is going to be higher, so t+1 is greater than zero (for this period only). What happens to the DAD and DAS curves in period t? What happens to output, inflation, and nominal and real interest rates in that period? Explain.
c. What happens to the DAD and DAS curves in period t+1? What happens to output, inflation, and nominal and real interest rates in that period? Explain.
d. What happens to the economy in subsequent periods?
e. In what sense are inflation scares self-fulfilling?

Communication affected if we disclose too much information
: 1.There is a story of an ant in search of food that came across a chrysalis, a butterfly in the pupa stage. "What a poor, pitiful animal you are, I can do so many things and you just sit there. A few days later the ant saw a beautiful winged creature..

How high (in meters) can the person climb
: A 41 kg person drinks 250. g of milk, which has a "caloric" value of approximately 3.0 kJ/g. If only 17% of the energy in milk is converted to mechanical work, how high (in meters) can the person climb based on this energy intake?
