Having too little unemployment [3%] generates wage inflation, & too much unemployment [12%] causes wages to fall. This special level of unemployment IS NOT a constant. It varies based on the conditions and restrictions society places upon it.

An increase in AD causes (an increase in the SRPC/ movement up the SRPC). 6. A decrease in AD causes (a decrease in the SRPC/movement down the SRPC). 7.

There (is a/is no) LR tradeoff between inflation and unemployment even if an easy monetary policy has increased AD in the SR. 13. The “Natural Rate Hypothesis” says there (is a/is no) tradeoff on the SRPC and that there (is a/is no) tradeoff on the LRPC. 14.

Assume last year unemployment was 2% and Inflation was 8%. This year unemployment is 5% and inflation is 4% as a result of a shift in AD. a. Draw a correctly labeled graph of a SRPC for Country X, showing the actual unemployment and inflation rates for both years. Label the Phillips curve as SRPC. b. Now assume the SRAS has shifted left.
