2) True.
The Beveridge curve or the UV curve shows relationship between unemployment and job vacancy rate. It has vacancies on the vertical axis and unemployment on the horizontal axis.The curve is hyperbolic shaped and slopes downward as higher rate of unemployment is associated with lower rate of vacancies.The matching process will determine how efficiently workers find new jobs .Improvement in the matching system will shift the curve towards the origin because it is possible to find jobs faster with efficient matching process. An efficient matching process will fill vacancies and employ the unemployed.The present state of the economy in the business cycle can be understood by the position on the curve. When there is recession there is high unemployment and low vacancies and when there is expansion there is low unemployment and high vacancies.So there will be decrease in unemployment and unfilled vacancies in the long run.
