Assumption: a > 1; an increase in the target inflation rate lowers
the nominal interest rate ceteris paribus: TR curve shifts down.
Note: If 0 < a < 1, an increase in the target inflation rate
increases the nominal interest rate ceteris paribus: TR curve
shifts up, but by less than the increase in the target inflation.
This situation is generally unstable and thus not considered.
