In the early 1970s, the short-run Phillips curve shifted
a. rightward as inflation expectations rose.
b. rightward as inflation expectations fell.
c. leftward as inflation expectations rose.
d. leftward as inflation expectations fell.
a)rightward as inflation expectations rose.
In the 1970s the inflation rate started increasing with stagnated economic growth.This was known as Stagflation.Normally economic growth increases with increase in inflation rate.
But 1970s witnessed a shift from this with inflation rate rising with increase in unemployment.This was a result of soaring oil prices causing a supply shock to happen leading to Stagflation.
Philips curve shows relationship between unemployment and inflation.But since both increased in 1970s short run Philips curve shifted upwards and right
Thanks for the question.

Suppose the short run Phillips Curve is given by: Inflation = Expected Inflation + 0.2 - 4*Unemployment Rate Assume that initially, people expect zero inflation. a)Draw the short run Phillips Curve and the long run Phillips Curve on a graph b)On the graph, represent what would happen in the short run if the government decided to run 4% inflation (setting inflation =0.04). c)On the graph, represent what would happen in the long run if the government decided to run 4%...
The Figure illustrates the expectations theory of the Phillips curve Short Run Statistical Trade-Off Versus Long Run No-Tradeoff;. This theory states that a. increasing the inflation rate causes a lower unemployment rate in the long run; 4 b. Phillips curves shift when the real GDP growth increases; c. short-run Phillips curves slope downwards & the long-run Phillips curve is vertical; d. all of the above. . The US civilian labor force participation rate US Labor Force Participation Rate (Blue); Real...
The Phillips curve exhibits Short-run Phillips curve Inflation rate (%per year) A. the direct relationship between the unemployment and the inflation rates 0 B. the situation where cyclical unemployment becomes zero. O C. the inverse relationship between the actual and the natural rate of unemployment. D. the relationship between the unemployment and the inflation rates Use the line drawing tool to draw a short-run Phillips curve. Properly label this line Note: if you are not prompted for a label, you...
Figure 17-7 Inflation rate (percent per year) Long-run Phillips curve 10% 5 Short-run Phillips curve 0 5.5% 7.5 Unemployment rate (percent) Refer to Figure 17-7. Consider the Phillips curves depicted in the graph above. The Fed announces its intention to decrease inflation from 10 percent to 5 percent per year, and it succeeds. If expectations of inflation are reduced to 8 percent by the Fed's announcement, the rate of unemployment will be _in the short run. less than 5.5 percent...
Suppose the short run Phillips Curve is given by: Inflation = Expected Inflation +.2 -4*Unemployment Rate Assume that initially, people expect zero inflation. Draw the short run Phillips Curve and the long run Phillips Curve on a graph On the graph, represent what would happen in the short run if the government decided to run 4% inflation (setting inflation =0.04). . On the graph, represent what would happen in the long run if the government decided to run 4% inflation.
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.
Consider the short-run and long-run Phillips Curves illustrated in the figure below. Assume consumers have a daptive expectations. Suppose the inflation rate has been 15 percent for the past four years. The unemployment rate is currently at the natural rate of unemployment of 5 percent. The Federal Reserve decides that it wants to permanently reduce the inflation rate to 5 percent and uses monetary policy to do so. Describe the new short-run Phillips Curve with adaptive expectations. PC- PC- Inflation...
Illustrate and briefly explain the beginning of a demand-pull inflation. 3. When answering parts a and b, draw the relevant Phillips curve. Using a short-run Phillips curve, what is the effect on the unemployment rate if the inflation rate unexpectedly rises. Using a long-run Phillips curve, what is the effect on the unemployment rate if the inflation rate rises and people expect the rise. Explain how your answer to part a about the unexpected rise in the inflation rate changes in...
4. The costs of inflation and of combating inflation The following graph shows a short-run Phillips curve for a hypothetical economy.
