For this question, assume that the Phillips curve equation is represented by the following equation: πt - πt-1 = (m + z) - αut. A reduction in the unemployment rate will cause A) a reduction in the markup over labor costs (i.e., a reduction in m). B) an increase in the markup over labor costs. C) an increase in the inflation rate over time. D) a decrease in the inflation rate over time. E) none of the above
Assuming the long-run Phillips curve is vertical, a consistent increase in money supply over a period of years will _________________ the unemployment rate and will _________________ the inflation rate? a) decrease; increase  b) increase; decrease  c) increase; have no effect on  d) decrease; decrease  e) have no effect on; increase
The corresponding table includes a breakdown including Inflation Rate, Unemployment Rate, Price Level, and Real GDP. Using the data below, plot the graphs: Plot the short-run Phillips curve and the aggregate supply curve on separate graphs. Plot the long-run Phillips curve on a separate graph, when the natural unemployment rate is 6%. Inflation Rate Unemployment Rate Price Level Real GDP 2% 7% 104 9.8 3% 6% 103 10.0 4% 5% 102 10.2
