Answer to Question 1

Inflation targeting, under which the Fed would make public its inflation target and face penalties if the target was missed, would improve the Fed's monetary policy because it would remove uncertainty. The public would know what the Fed's policy was and would not need to guess at what the inflation rate would be the future. This certainty would improve people's decision making about saving and investment and thereby improve economic performance.

Answer to Question 2

B
