Evaluating Central Bank Policy Responses
A central bank is using an economic policy simulation to model its response to a sudden inflation surge. The simulation shows inflation has jumped to 5%, while the unemployment rate remains stable. The central bank's primary objective is to bring inflation back to its 2% target as quickly as possible, and it is willing to accept significant short-term economic costs to achieve this. Which of the following policy choices and immediate consequences best represents this aggressive, anti-inflationary stance?
An economy is in equilibrium with 2% inflation. It is then hit by a shock that causes inflation to rise. The central bank responds by tightening its monetary policy to bring inflation back to its target. Arrange the following events in the logical sequence that would be expected to unfold within a macroeconomic policy simulation.

Central Bank Policy Response to a Supply Shock
An economy is experiencing a rapid increase in its overall price level, primarily caused by a sudden disruption to global supply chains that has increased the cost of production for many firms. At the same time, the national unemployment rate is at the central bank's target. If the central bank decides to raise its policy interest rate to curb the price increases, what is the most significant trade-off it must consider?
An economy is initially at its inflation target and equilibrium unemployment. A sudden, unexpected increase in the global price of oil occurs, representing a negative supply shock. Arrange the following events in the logical sequence that would follow if the central bank intervenes to bring inflation back to its target.
