For every 1 percent increase in the rate of inflation above its expected level, firms are willing to increase real GDP by 2 percent. The output ratio is initially 100 and the inflation rate equals 2 percent. (a) Based upon the preceding information, draw the short-run Phillips Curve. (b) What is the growth rate of nominal GDP in the economy? An adverse supply shock raises the inflation rate associated with every output ratio by 3 percentage points. (c) Draw the new short-run Phillips Curve. (d) The government chooses to follow a neutral policy in response to this shock. What will be the growth rate of nominal GDP? What will be the new rate of inflation? What will be the output ratio? (e) If the government chooses to follow an accommodating policy, what would be the new inflation rate? The output ratio? The growth rate of nominal GDP? (f) If the government chooses to follow an…arrow_forward1. Suppose the Phillips curve is represented by the following equation: a, - 1, = 0.2– 2u,. Given this information, we know that the natural rate of unemployment in this economy is 2. In the following production function, Y = f(K, NA), a 20% increase in A will cause _ (labor / effective labor / output / output per worker) to increase by 20%?arrow_forward
- The Phillips curve in Lowland takes the form of π = 0.04 − 0.6(u − 0.05), where π is the actualinflation rate and u is the unemployment rate. The Phillips curve in Highland takes the form ofπ = 0.08 − 0.4(u − 0.05). The current unemployment rate in both countries is 9 percent (0.09). For both countries, analyze the impact on inflation of a 2% decrease in unemployment? In which country will policymakers face a bigger trade-off if they try to reduce unemployment in the shortrun?

- How does the modern view of the Phillips curve differ from the earlier view? ___The early view of the Phillips curve suggested that the Phillips curve shifts with changes in inflation expectations. Such a view failed to recognize that the Phillips curve is a fixed inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment. ___The early view of the Phillips curve suggested that the Phillips curve is fixed, with higher rates of inflation associated with lower rates of unemployment, and vice versa. Such a view failed to recognize the importance of inflation expectations in determining the position of the short-run Phillips curve. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.
