In September, 2006 the overall CPI fell by 0.5 percent but the core CPI edged higher just enough to make inflation a concern.  Draw the AD and AS graph of the economy, label everything.  Show the effect of the fall in CPI on your graph.
a. What is the Fed’s most likely response to a situation like this one? Will the Fed tighten or ease? Explain the Fed’s action and its consequences for real GDP and the inflation rate.
