Economic Response with Anchored vs. Unanchored Expectations
Imagine two economies, A and B, are both hit by the same temporary negative supply shock (e.g., a sudden, short-term increase in oil prices). In Economy A, the public's long-term inflation expectations are firmly anchored at 2%. In Economy B, expectations are not anchored and tend to follow recent inflation trends. Briefly explain why Economy A is likely to experience a less persistent increase in inflation and a quicker return to stable prices compared to Economy B.
