Comparing Disinflation Scenarios
An economy with a highly credible central bank, known for maintaining long-term price stability, experiences a temporary, unexpected rise in inflation. The central bank, however, does not immediately tighten its monetary policy. According to macroeconomic principles, what is the most probable effect on the real economy when the central bank eventually acts to bring inflation back down to its target?
