CORE Econ's Inflation Policy Simulation Tool
CORE Econ's inflation tool is an interactive policy simulation designed to explore the challenges central banks face, particularly with the rapid inflation that occurred after the COVID-19 pandemic. A solid understanding of macroeconomic modeling is an essential prerequisite for using this tool effectively. The simulation is structured in multiple parts; some reinforce core macroeconomic models, while others introduce advanced concepts like central bank preferences, allowing users to experiment with various policy approaches.

Analyzing Compound Economic Shocks
The global inflation surge that began in 2021 was initiated by one major economic shock, and then sharply accelerated by a second, distinct shock in early 2022. Which of the following statements best analyzes the relationship between these two events?
Arrange the following events in the correct chronological and causal order to explain the development of the 2021-2022 global inflation surge.
The 2021-2022 global inflation surge was driven by two distinct economic shocks. Match each shock to its primary economic consequence.
Deconstructing the 2021-2022 Inflationary Shocks
The global inflation surge that began in 2021 was primarily a result of the sharp increase in oil and gas prices following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with post-pandemic supply chain issues playing only a minor, secondary role.
Identifying the Twin Shocks of the 2021-2022 Inflation Surge
The 2021-2022 global inflation surge was primarily driven by two major ______ shocks: post-pandemic logistical disruptions and a sharp rise in energy prices.
A policymaker in early 2022 states: 'The current inflation is a temporary issue caused by economies reopening after the pandemic. We should adopt a 'wait and see' approach before implementing major policy changes.' Based on the specific nature of the economic events during the 2021-2022 period, which of the following presents the most compelling critique of this policymaker's position?
An economic analyst is assessing the end of the long period of global price stability that occurred around 2021. They are trying to determine how two distinct global events combined to create the subsequent inflation surge. Which statement best analyzes the interplay between these two events?

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.
