Answer to Question 1

Hysteresis suggests that the natural unemployment rate is not independent of the actual unemployment rate. In Europe, high unemployment would result in an increase in unemployment benefits that would cause an increase in the natural rate. Eurosclerosis suggests that the high natural rate is a result of structural problems such as high minimum wage, reluctance of labor unions to accept wage cuts.

Answer to Question 2

Central banks have two options to reduce the interest rate: a central bank purchase of bonds or a reduction in the required reserve ratio. Both policies result in an increase in the money supply and a reduction in the interest rate.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
