According to the diagram, we can see that inflation rate and unemployment rate have negative relationship.
For 5% unemployment rate, we can see that corresponding to the PC1 the inflation is 4% on the vertical axis measuring inflation.
Similarily, for 5% unemployment rate, corresponding to PC2 curve, inflation rate is 1.5% on the vertical axis measuring inflation.
Inflation rate :
PC1 = 4%
PC2 = 1.5%

Consider an economy in which the unemployment rate is at the natural level and the inflation rate is 10%. Suppose that the domestic central bank wants to reduce inflation to 5%. Starting from year t the central bank reduces the money supply in such a way that unemployment remains above the natural level by one percent each year. After 5 years the inflation reaches the new target of 5%. Compute the sacrifice ratio of this policy. What is the slope...
So let's say that this European Central Bank, the European Central Bank expects the natural unemployment rate to be 6 percent, and the actual unemployment rate is 5.5 percent.A.) Use the Phillips curve illustration to determine what happens to inflation and unemployment over a long period of time.B.) Assuming the expectation is the actual natural unemployment rate (5.5%), then if the government decides to increase government spending, please briefly explain and use the Phillips curve to illustrate.
