- 1. Aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and the Phillips curve In the year 2027, aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the imaginary country of Aso-Kuju are represented by the curves AD2027 and AS on the following graph. The price level is currently 102. The graph also shows two potential outcomes for 2028. The first possible aggregate demand curve is given by the curve labeled ADA curve, resulting in the outcome given by point A. The second possible aggregate demand curve is given by the curve labeled ADB, resulting in the outcome given by point B.

Suppose the unemployment rate is 7% under one of these two outcomes and 5% under the other.

- What is the "Phillips Curve"? Why do inflation and unemployment tend to be inversely related?arrow_forwardIn 2016, when the interest rate on 10-year German government bonds became negative, an article in the Wall Street Journal noted that the interest rate on 10-year bonds depended in part on investors' expectations of future short-term interest rates. The article also noted that "investors don't seem to have changed their perception of... [short-term] interest rates in the future." If the article is correct, can the expectations theory explain why the interest rate on 10-year German government bonds declined? Can the risk premium theory?
