Inflation is defined as:
The level of prices at full-employment.
An increase in the price of expensive items, such as cars.
An increase in the average level of prices.
An increase in relative prices.
QUESTION 45

3. The long-run effects of monetary policy
The following graphs plot the long-run equilibrium situation for an economy. The first graph plots the aggregate demand (AD) and long-run aggregate
supply (LRAS) curves. The second graph plots the long-run and short-run Phillips curves (LAPC and SRPC, respectively).
