Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The credibility of policy announcements is important for the effectiveness of monetary policy because a more credible policy allows the Fed to have a greater impact on the expected inflation rate. In particular, a credible policy of disinflation will cause the short-run Phillips curve to shift down more rapidly than if the policy is less credible, thereby making the increase in the unemployment rate smaller and briefer.
