The Phillips Curve and Inflation - End of Chapter Problem
Recently, policy makers have debated whether an increase in the federal minimum wage, currently at $7.25 an hour, would be
good for the economy. Determine how each of the given scenarios affects the Phillips curve.
a. Policy makers announce that effective next week, the federal minimum wage will be $15 an hour. This will cause
the Phillips curve to shift upward
b. Policy makers announce that the federal minimum wage will increase to $15 an hour over the next 10 years by annual
the Phillips curve to shift upward
increases of $0.78. This will cause
c. Explain how the initial increase in the federal minimum wage for low-wage earners could lead to a wage-price spiral
throughout the economy.
The increase in wages
increases
disposable income. This in turn leads to
greater
demand, which in turn
results in higher prices.
Draw the short run phillips curve and long run phillips curve, explain why they are different?
When you graph the Phillips curve, what goes on the y-axis?
Change in inflation
Rate of inflation
Change in consumer price
Change in short-run output
