## What is Mandate?

Key Features:

A Realistic Economic Engine
Mandate simulates an array of interconnected economic indicators including PCE and CPI inflation, GDP growth, unemployment, the 10-year Treasury yield, and more. Policy decisions propagate through realistic lag effects and transmission channels. The 10-year yield drives mortgage rates, corporate borrowing, and financial conditions — just like the real economy. Inflation expectations anchor or unravel based on your credibility, with Phillips Curve and Okun's Law dynamics.

Think you can do better than the real Fed? Prove it.
