Solution

True.

In the standard Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply (AD-AS) model, an adverse supply shock shifts the Short Run Aggregate Supply (SRAS) curve to the left, leading to higher prices (inflation) and lower output.

If the central bank responds aggressively to inflation being above target, it will raise interest rates to reduce aggregate demand. This action will shift the AD curve to the left, which will help to reduce the inflation caused by the adverse supply shock. However, this action will also further reduce output.

The key here is the term "relatively small effect on output". If the central bank is very aggressive in its response to inflation, the reduction in output caused by the central bank's actions could be smaller than the reduction in output caused by the adverse supply shock itself. Therefore, the overall effect on output could be relatively small.

So, the statement is true. If the central bank responds relatively aggressively to inflation being above target, a temporary adverse supply shock has a relatively small effect on output.
