The Phillips Curve Shows tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.
What happens to inflation and unemployment when AD increase?

In general, there is an inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation

Short Run Phillips Curve
When the economy is overheating, there is low unemployment but high inflation Inflation When there is a recession, unemployment is high but inflation is low 5% Short Run -AD Falls, PL and Q fall Long Run- AS Increases as workers accept lower wages and production costs fall. PL goes down, Q goes back to Full Employment 1% SRPC 2% 9% Unemployment 4

Short Run Phillips Curve
What happens when AS falls causing stagflation? Increase in unemployment and inflation Inflation 5% Short Run -AD Falls, PL and Q fall Long Run- AS Increases as workers accept lower wages and production costs fall. PL goes down, Q goes back to Full Employment SRPC1 1% SRPC 2% 9% Unemployment 5

Short Run vs. Long Run What happens when AD increases?
What happens in the long run? Long Run Phillips Curve Inflation In the long run, wages and resource prices increase. AS falls. SRPC shifts right. 5% 3% Short Run -AD Falls, PL and Q fall Long Run- AS Increases as workers accept lower wages and production costs fall. PL goes down, Q goes back to Full Employment SRPC1 1% SRPC 2% 5% 9% Unemployment 6

Short Run vs. Long Run Long Run Phillips Curve
In the long run there is no tradeoff between inflation and unemployment Long Run Phillips Curve Inflation 5% The LRPC is vertical at the Natural Rate of Unemployment 3% Short Run -AD Falls, PL and Q fall Long Run- AS Increases as workers accept lower wages and production costs fall. PL goes down, Q goes back to Full Employment 1% 2% 5% 9% Unemployment 7
