Target System B

Chapter

Abstract

This chapter is based on target system B. The targets of the German government are zero unemployment and zero inflation in Germany. The model of unemployment and inflation can be characterized by a system of two equations:
$$u_1 = A_1 − G_1$$
(1)
$$\pi_1 = B_1 + G_1$$
(2)
An increase in German government purchases lowers unemployment in Germany. On the other hand, it raises inflation there.
