All else equal, how will increasing unemployment insurance affect the natural rate of unemployment? The natural rate of unemployment is likely to decrease. The natural rate of unemployment will remain unaffected. The natural rate of unemployment is likely to increase. From the following examples, select the example illustrating frictional unemployment.

The equation of exchange states that the product of the quantity
of money, M, and the velocity of money, V, equals
the product of the price level, P, and the quantity of
real output, Q:
??=??
Because the percentage change in the product of two variables is
approximately equal to the sum of the percentage changes in the
variables, the equation of exchange can be written in growth rate
form as
%Δ?+%Δ?=%Δ?+%Δ?
where %Δ means "percentage change in."
