In my first game, I carefully managed the interest rate to keep inflation around 2%: Your economy produced 431540 apples.

Next game, I set the interest rate to -0.50% right away and left it there: Your economy produced 442411 apples. Inflation was 1.5% in the end.

Doesn't seem to matter too much what you do. Maybe in real life too.

I went for extreme volatility which basically killed everything in a 100 months.

100% unemployment, nothing produced.

Might be a lesson there.

I lowered interest rates to 0 slowly and then to -.5 when I realized it could go down.

Ended up in the same neighborhood 400somethingK

Honestly expected inflation to go up at some point
