If a Phillips curve shows that unemployment is high and inflation is low in the economy, then that economy:
A) is producing at its potential GDP.
B) is producing at a point where output is more than potential GDP.
C) is producing at its equilibrium point.
D) is producing at a point where output is less than potential GDP.

Do you think the Phillips curve is a useful tool for analyzing the economy today? Why or why not?

Consider the original presentation of the Phillips Curve, with inflation on the vertical axis and unemployment on the horizontal axis.
Which of the following could NOT shift this Phillips Curve upward?
an increase in the price of inputs used in production
expected higher prices in the future/higher inflation
an increase in the average wages of workers
an improvement in production technology

According to the modern interpretation, which of the following is true of the Phillips curve?

b. It is vertical in the long run.
c. Neither A nor B
d. Both A and B

The period from the late 1990s to the winter of 2000 was marked by falling unemployment rates and falling inflation rates as well. How does economic theory explain this apparent violation of the Phillips curve model?
arrow_forward
What is true along the long-run Phillips curve? A. A labor shortage exists. B. A tradeoff exists between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate. C. The economy is at full employment. D. The inflation rate equals the expected inflation rate and any unemployment rate is possible.

Using the Phillips curve, illustrate how cost-push inflation affects the relationship between unemployment and the inflation rate.

What is the shape of the neoclassical long-run Phillips curve? What assumptions do economists make that lead to this shape?
arrow_forward
Consider the short-run Phillips curve. If the actual unemployment rate falls below the full employment rate of unemployment, it should be expected that:
the Phillips curve would shift downwards
wages would fall
the natural rate of unemployment would fall
the inflation rate would increase
