The economy stays for a few years at point E, and people come to expect that the inflation rate will stay at that level in the future. But then the Fed decides that the inflation rate is too high, so it unexpectedly adopts a tight money policy to reduce the inflation rate.
6. At this point in the story, the economy is no longer at a point on the same short-run Phillips curve that it started on. What does the new short-run Phillips curve look like? Where does the new short-run Phillips curve cross the vertical long-run Phillips curve? Briefly explain.
Homework Answers
Ans
It looks similar to original short run Philips curve but lies below the original one. It crosses at c. Note the shift is because actual inflation has fallen

Problem 3.(36 points) Suppose the natural rate of unemployment equals 5%, and the Phillips curve is given by πt = πte − 0.25(ut − u∗t ). Suppose originally the economy is in the long run equilibrium, in which πte = 4%. 1. Determine unemployment and inflation rates corresponding to the original equilibrium. 2.

2. Phillips Curve. An economy has the following functions for its short run aggregate supply (SRAS), Okun's Law (OL), and Phillips Curve (PC): SRAS: P = EP + (1/2)(y - 3) OL: (Y-Y) = -4(u-u") PC:T = ET - (1/5)( - 6) The economy begins at its natural rate of output with a stable price level equal to $5. a.) Output is at its natural level when the price level is equal to expectations. Calculate the natural rate of output...

If the economy is at the point where the short-run Phillips curve intersects the long-run Phillips curve, a. unemployment equals the natural rate and expected inflation equals actual inflation. b. unemployment is above the natural rate and expected inflation equals actual inflation. c. unemployment equals the natural rate and expected inflation is greater than actual inflation. d. None of the above is necessarily correct.
