Suppose an Economy Exhibits a Large Unexpected Decrease in Productivity

question 78

True/False

Suppose an economy exhibits a large unexpected decrease in productivity growth that lasts for a decade; however, monetary policymakers are slow to recognize that the change is to potential-not current-output and they interpret the decrease in output as a recession that leads current output to fall below potential output. In this scenario, policymakers believe that recessionary pressures are building and incorrectly respond by increasing interest rates, sending the economy into a recessionary gap.
