Suppose the Federal Reserve increases the rate of growth of the
money supply, and this leads to 10% inflation. Congress decides to
counteract the inflation by legally preventing producers and
retailers from raising their prices more than 5%/year.
a. What effect does this have on the economy in the short
and the long run?
b. Suppose you want to increase long-run real economic
growth. Would it be better to approach the Federal Reserve or
Congress, and why?
