Problem
Go to the Federal Reserve's Web site, follow the links to Monetary Policy and the FOMC, and find the press releases ("statements") from the last two FOMC meetings. Has the FOMC raised or lowered interest rates at these meetings? What reasons do the press releases give for these actions? Would you describe these actions as movements along a given policy rule (i.e., interest rate changes arising from a concern about inflation) or as shifts in the policy rule (i.e. , policy actions in response to factors other than inflation) If you feel the policy rule has shifted, what factors was the FOMC reacting to?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
