According to following diagrams determine the sensitivity parameters of
Okun's and Phillips equations and a, and long run equilibrium GDP
growth rate gy and natural rate of unemployment un
Au, = 0(gr, - 9Y)
An, = a(u, -un)

initial inflation rate is ₁-1 is 4% and GDP grows gy, at 10% in a given
year. What would be current unemployment u, and inflation , rates?
