How does government intervene to lower inflation or unemployment?
The government acts on inflation through The Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve acts on inflation by targeting interest rates through the reserve requirement. When interest rates are high, people want to keep money in their bank accounts, and inflation decreases. When interest rates are low, people are more willing to spend their money and inflation increases. Once, the Federal Reserve actually pushed the United States into a recession once to battle especially high inflation. Ever since then, it has been very important for the Federal Reserve to keep inflation in check. The government, as demonstrated during the latest recession, enacts many different stimulus packages to help the economy recover and help unemployment come down from extremely high percentages.
Is the Federal Reserve responsible for determining the inflation rate and the unemployment rate?
The Federal Reserve does not set the inflation or unemployment rates. These rates are naturally fluctuating based on market activities. Typically, as inflation rises, unemployment decreases and vice versa (except in the case of stagflation in 1970's). The Federal Reserve DOES, however, adjust interest rates and various other rates to control the money supply in order to combat unemployment and inflation. See the "Money Supply Theory."
