Write up a summary/explanation of what you did and why to show me that you understand monetary policy. Because this game uses monetary policy only and it only has one tool, the Federal Funds Rate, you will need to include a description of the federal funds rate and an explanation of which tool the Fed uses and how they use it to influence the Federal Funds rate (discount rate? open market operations? reserve requirement?). The way you used monetary policy should coincide with your goals. For example, if you were trying to lower the inflation rate, did you adjust the federal funds rate in the right direction? Finally, identify the period in the game that was most problematic for you as Fed Chairman and explain the fiscal policy (taxes and spending) that would have supported your efforts most.
