Summary
The Fed Chairman Game (FCG) is an interactive online website tool that allows visitors to better understand the impact of the Federal Funds Rate on unemployment and inflation. Users put themselves in Chairman Bernanke’s shoes and try their hand at monetary policy through steering a simulated economy. Crises pop up throughout the game in order to lend an element of surprise and to simulate sudden changes in the economy. At the end of the game, the “Chairman” is reappointed if they did well in keeping inflation low and stable and meeting the unemployment target.
