6. The long-run effects of monetary policy The following graphs show an economy that is currently in long-run equilibrium. The first graph shows the aggregate demand (AD) and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curves. The second shows the long-run (LR) and short-run (SR) Phillips curves. The point on each graph shows the economy's current position. According to the graphs, potential output in this economy is _______ and the natural rate of unemployment is _______ .Suppose the central bank of the economy decreases the...

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...
The statements refer to inflation expectations. Label each statement as either true or false. Each label will be used more than once. Expected inflation is equal to the nominal interest rate plus the real interest rate. The survey results of what economists think inflation will be can be used as a measure of expected inflation. If people expect the price level of goods and services to increase, aggregate demand (AD) increases. If people expect inflation with respect to the production...
