Answer to Question 1

The Taylor rule requires monetary policy to respond to both inflation and output gaps. If an attempt to lower unemployment results in rising inflation, policy acquires an anti-inflationary bias. Though the Taylor rule can prevent the persistence of demand-pull inflation, it might make brief episodes of inflation more likely. If policy makers underestimate the natural rate of unemployment, adherence to the Taylor rule guarantees that inflation will rise.
