Figure 1: Unemployment and Inflation Gap Policy Functions over the Natural Rate
Note: Unemployment and inflation gap policy functions are shown over a limited range of the natural rate, between $$\pm $$ 0.85 of
$$\sigma _{rn}$$. Policy functions over 3 standard deviations for the natural rate around its mean are shown in Figure C.2
in the appendix.

Figure 3: Impulse responses to Natural Rate Shocks
(a) Positive demand shock <br< (b) Negative demand shock
Note: Impulse responses to a one time innovation are computed according to (11) and equilibrium
policy functions for unemployment and inflation gaps under either rational expectations or perfect foresight.

Figure C.3: Long Run Phillips Curve under a Shortfalls Approach
Note: Moments calculated on 3000 simulations each of 1000 period length. Unemployment gap reported in percentage points. Inflation gap reported in annualized percentage points. BR
corresponds to the model outcomes under rational expectations and bounded rationality with
$$m^{br}=0.97$$.
