- According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve the natural unemployment rate is 4.42 percent (Q4 2023 ) and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates the U.S. unemployment rate (U3, October 2023 B) to be 3.9 percent.

- 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.arrow_forwardSUDmit test The graph shows the short-run and long-run Phillips curves. The current inflation rate is 5 percent a year. Inflation rate (percent per year) 12.5- LRPC The Fed announces that it will increase the money growth rate so that the inflation rate will rise to 6 percent a year. 10.0- If no one believes the Fed and expected inflation remains at 5 percent a year, explain the effect of the Fed's action on inflation and unemployment next year.

- 4. Monetary policy and the Phillips curve The following graph shows the current short-run Phillips curve for a hypothetical economy; the point on the graph shows the initial unemployment rate and inflation rate. Assume that the economy is currently in long-run equilibrium. Suppose the central bank of the hypothetical economy decides to decrease the money supply. On the following graph, shift the short-run (SR) Phillips curve or drag the blue point along the curve, or do both, to show the short-run effects of this policy. Hint: You may assume that the central bank's move was unanticipated.
