Answer to Question 1

If the true natural rate of unemployment is above the measured unemployment rate, this means that policymakers should try to slow the economy. If the chair of the Fed believes the natural rate of unemployment to be below the measured unemployment rate, she will stimulate the economy, which will be a bad decision as the economy may become overstimulated and result in an increase in the inflation rate.
