if 𝑦 = 𝑦 (𝑦 = 0) then π = π∗
When the output gap is closed the best expectation for inflation
is the CB's inflation target π∗ (if the CB is credible)

► Stagflation
CB can't fight inflation without making
recession worse
𝑃 = 𝑃 ∗ 𝜇 ∗ 𝑀𝐶
𝑃 = 𝑃 ∗ 𝜇 ∗ 𝑀𝐶
take logs: 𝑝 = 𝑝 + 𝜇 + 𝑚𝑐
so: π =𝑝 −𝑝 = π + 𝑚𝑐 − 𝑚𝑐 = π + Δ𝑚𝑐
Δ𝑚𝑐 = 𝛼𝑦
𝜋 = π + 𝛼𝑦
