Answer to Question 1

1 ) The central bank chose a target rate for nominal money growth corresponding to the inflation rate it wanted to achieve in the medium run. 2 ) In the short run, the central bank allowed for deviations of nominal money growth from the target. 3 ) To communicate to the public both what it wanted to achieve in the medium run and what it intended to do in the short run, the central bank announced a range for the rate of nominal money growth it intended to achieve.
