Since the late 1990s, aggregate inflation has been less sensitive to changes in economic conditions than it has in previous decades. Analysis using the Phillips curve model at the component level shows that cyclical sensitivity of inflation varies substantially for different types of goods and services. In particular, inflation for most service components (such as shelter) and food has remained largely “pro-cyclical” (that is, rising during economic expansions and falling during economic contractions), but inflation for many types of goods (such as motor vehicles) has not. The lack of cyclical sensitivity in price inflation for goods helps explain the decreased cyclical sensitivity of aggregate inflation over the past two decades.
Also during that period, inflation expectations have become more anchored and less dependent on past inflation. Analysis using the Phillips curve model with 10 different measures of aggregate inflation suggests that that process is probably incomplete. In particular, both past inflation and the constant term in the Phillips curve model appear to help explain the dynamics of inflation through the lens of that model.

Answer the question below. Then complete the sentences that address the issue of government
intervention in the market to address demand shocks, and supply shocks. Which of the following
is the most basic rationale for the development of a government stabilization policy? To reduce
the severity of recessions and inflation To prevent an increase in the tax rate To magnify
positive shocks To compensate consumers for a drop in prices After a demand shock,
governments can use policy to return the market to its previous equilibrium. policy is often used
to address supply shocks, since supply shocks present conflicting difficulties: Government policy
makers can address either inflation OR unemployment because addressing one will exacerbate
the other.
Solution
1) Option A - To reduce severity of recessions and inflation
People by nature tend to be risk averse while there may be some actors in the economy who
might be aggressive. So sometimes economy falters because of these opposing forces and we
could see either below potential output or financial crisis like subprime. The government has the
responsibility to work for sustainable development and avoid instances such as recession and
above average inflation.
2) After a demand shock, governments can use fiscal policy to return the market to its previous
equilibrium.
Demand shock is a sudden change in demand which could be either positive or negative. The
government can use fiscal policy to manipulate demand and supply in the economy.
Compromise policy is often used to address supply shocks since supply shocks present
conflicting difficulties: Government policymakers can address either inflation OR
unemployment because addressing one will exacerbate the other.
A supply shock is an unexpected and sudden increase or decrease in the supply of a product or
service. It could increase inflation drastically and this could be a real challenge for the
government. As containing inflation could push unemployment higher according to Phillips
Curve..
Fiscal policy is the means by which a government adjusts its spending levels and tax rates to monitor and influence a nation's economy.
It is the sister strategy to monetary policy through which a central bank influences a nation's money supply.
These two policies are used in various combinations to direct a country's economic goals.
Here we look at how fiscal policy works, how it must be monitored and how its implementation may affect different people in an economy.
The fundamental principle of the classical theory is that the economy is self‐regulating. Classical economists maintain that the economy is always capable of achieving the natural level of real GDP, which is the level of real GDP that is obtained when the economy's resources are fully employed.
National output or income was determined by real factors such as capital stock, state of technology, labour supply and in no way was affected by the general price level which was determined by the quantity of money. This classical doctrine is generally referred to as classical dichotomy.
While circumstances arise from time to time that cause the economy to fall below or to exceed the natural level of real GDP, self‐adjustment mechanisms exist within the market system that work to bring the economy back to the natural level of real GDP.
The classical doctrine—that the economy is always at or near the natural level of real GDP (full employment)—is based on two firmly held beliefs:
The assumption of the full employment of labour and other productive resources
Belief that prices, wages, and interest rates are flexible.
The general over production, and hence general unemployment, is impossible.
The normal situation is stable equilibrium at full employment.
The classical economist believe that the policy of laissez-faire guaranteed normal full employment. They had great faith in free and perfect competition, efficacy of the profit motive and price mechanism to remedy the temporary ills of the economic system and ensure full employment.
Prof. Pigou says, “With perfectly free competition, there will always be at work a strong tendency for wage rates to be so related to demand that everybody is employed.”
They treated money as a mere medium of exchange. (Transaction motive)

Fiscal PolicyFiscal policy refers to the changes in government’sshantayjewison
Fiscal Policy
Fiscal policy refers to the changes in government’s choices regarding the overall level of government spending and taxes to influence the behavior of the economy. Fiscal policy can expand or contract aggregate demand. The government sometimes uses the fiscal policy instruments in an attempt to stabilize the economy. Under a recession, an expansionary fiscal policy is adopted, which involves lowering taxes and/or increasing government spending. In an overheated expansion with an inflationary pressure, a contractionary fiscal policy is utilized, which requires higher taxes and/or reduced government spending. Economists and policymakers disagree about how active the government should be in these fiscal policy efforts.
Based on the above summary and the detailed descriptions of the fiscal policy issues in the textbook (Chapter 31) discuss the following questions:
What are the expansionary and contractionary fiscal policies? What are their policy instruments? How are they used to deal with the inflationary gap and recessionary gap? Which do you think is more appropriate today?
Should the government balance its budget? If you think it should, what steps do you suggest that it take to balance its budget?
What is the relationship between budget deficits and national (public) debt? Why has the U.S. national debt been increasing for decades?
Should the tax laws be reformed to encourage saving? Do you think consumption tax is better than income tax

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
