use these steps as well:
Based your graph from part (a), briefly discuss how the series evolved since 2014 (the last year in the textbook). In your opinion, does it look like policy worked as intended?Some observers have recently voiced strong concerns about rising inflation. To see why, we need to plot our graph at a slightly higher frequency. Re-do your graph from (a) but now at quarterly frequency, rather than annual frequency, and using a measure of “core inflation” (i.e., without food and energy). Please see the hint on how to compute quarterly inflation at an annual rate as well as an explanation for the exclusion of food and energy prices.Based on your graph, are the recent concerns about inflation warranted? Briefly discuss/comment.

Figure 28.10 shows how the Federal Reserve has carried out monetary policy by targeting the federal funds interest rate in the last few decades. The graph shows the federal funds interest rate (remember, this interest rate is set through open market operations), the unemployment rate, and the inflation rate since 1975. Different episodes of monetary policy during this period are indicated in the figure.
