As described in the chapter, the Federal Reserve in 2008 faced a decrease in aggregate demand
caused by the housing and financial crises and a decrease in short-run aggregate supply caused by
rising commodity prices.
Starting from a long-run equilibrium, illustrate the effects of these two changes on aggregate
supply and aggregate demand on the following graph. Then, on the subsequent graph, indicate
what happens on a Phillips-curve diagram.

Which of the following is true as a result of the two changes in aggregate demand and aggregate
supply? (Note: Do not consider the magnitudes of the shifts given on the preceding graphs. Think

The Phillips curve represents the relationship between unemployment and inflation. You are required to think about the impact on the economy of movements along the curve. If the unemployment rate in the economy is steady at 4 percent per year, how does the short-run Phillips curve predict that the inflation rate will be changing, if at all? What will happen if the unemployment rate now rises to 7 percent per year? Assume there are no changes to inflation expectations. Provide an appropriate graph to support your discussion.
"As the economy moves upward along its aggregate supply curve, the economy also moves upward along its short-run Phillips curve." Is the previous statement correct or incorrect?
