The short-run Phillips Curve assumes an unchanging Multiple Choice expected rate of inflation. fiscal or monetary policy actual rate of inflation. unemployment rate
Which of the following statements would be true if the short-run Phillips curve relationship held in the long run? a. Only monetary policy, not fiscal policy, has any real effects on the economy. b. A central bank can always steer an economy out of recession, simply through creating inflation. c. Expansionary monetary policy can decrease inflation at the expense of unemployment. d. A central bank has no control over unemployment. e. Prices fully adjust in the long run.
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...
Describe the role of policy mix of fiscal and monetary policy actions in stabilizing the inflation, unemployment and RGDP growth for the economy 6. Describe the role of policy mix of fiscal and monetary policy actions in stabilizing the inflation, unemployment and RGDP growth for the economy 6.

All of the following are risks of conducting fiscal or monetary policy to counter recessions EXCEPT O high inflation O district Federal Reserve bank inconsistency O making the recession worse O higher unemployment
a. Use the AD-AS model to derive the short run Phillips curve and show how policy can move the economy from a point with high inflation to appoint with low inflation. b. Use the AD-AS model to derive the long-run Phillips curve and show the short run and long run effect of a policy that has the goal of reducing the unemployment rate
WEEK 6: MONETARY POLICY AND FISCAL POLICY A healthy economy typically has low rates of unemployment and steady prices. Low rates of unemployment means that the economy is operating at its full potential. To ensure the economy continues to operate at potential GDP (full capacity where all savings are invested in production functions, and where all those who wish to work can find a job, and all other factors of production are fully utilized in the production function), governments use...
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.
14. Suppose that the economy is at point A on the Phillips curve graph above. Starting at that point, what two fiscal policy options would help to improve national economic conditions? 15. If the government pursued the fiscal policy options you identified in #14, what would happen to the federal government’s budget deficit? Check one answer: ⧠ the deficit would grow larger (more negative) ⧠ the deficit would become smaller (less negative) 16. If the government pursued the fiscal policy...
