We have discussed two models that describe the relationship between inflation and economic growth. Which of the following is a property of the New Keynesian Model but NOT the Real Business Cycle (RBC) Model? Monetary policy has no effect on long run economic growth Recessions can be caused by a fall in aggregate demand. Prices are fully flexible in both the short and long run. All the above are properties of the RBC model. None of the above are properties...

1. Is the Phillips curve a myth? Intertemporal tradeoff between inflation and unemployment After the World War II, empirical economists noticed that, in many advanced economies, as unemployment fell, inflation tended to rise, and vice versa. The inverse relationship between unemployment and Inflation, was depicted as the Phillips curve, after William Phillips of the London School of Economics. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Phillips curve convinced many policy makers that they could use the relationship to pick acceptable levels...
What do current economic data tell us about the health of the economy? Assess the current health of the U.S. economy by evaluating the key economic indicators that we have looked at in this course. How close is the overall economy to potential GDP and the natural rate of unemployment? The relevant economics statistics include the growth rate of real GDP, the unemployment rate, and the inflation rate at a minimum. You are encouraged to discuss and evaluate other economic...
32. The rational expectations hypotheses implies that discretionary macroeconomic policy is: a. relatively effective in both the short run and long run b. relatively effective in the short run but ineffective in the long run c. relatively ineffective in both the short run and long run d. effective in the long run since decision makers will continually make predictable, systematic errors 33. The modern view of the Phillips curve suggests that a. when inflation is less than anticipated, unemployment will...
