Prior to the pandemic, economic growth had typically been accompanied by decelerating or declining inflation, the exact opposite of that predicted by the analysis in Gordon's text (of AD-AS) and the model used by the Federal Reserve, the Philips Curve. Using the AD-AS model, show how it is possible to have economic growth accompanied by decelerating or declining inflation and describe how this occurs.
