3. Is an increase in the unemployment rate (U3) always a bad development for the economy? Is a decrease in the unemployment rate (U3) always a favorable development for the economy (and the labor market)?
4. Assume U3 increases from 4% to 8% from year x to year y. If U6 were 5% in year x would we expect U6 to be greater than or less than 9% in year y?
5. Using the CPI-U: What is the percentage change in price level from 1998 to 2018. What is the average annual inflation rate (as a percentage) during this period? (Please use annual price levels to calculate the percentage changes.)

*We are supposed to do only one question. For solution to other questions please post as a separate question.
3) As we know that Phillips curve tells us about relationship
between inflation and unemployment. Phillips curve tells us about
inverse relationship between inflation and quantity demanded. As
inlation increases unemployment decrease and vice versa .
As unemployment increases inflation decrease and stable inflation
is prerequisite for stability of economy.
Again less unemployment means increase in inflation which would
mean higher incomes mean higher aggregate demand leading to growth
of economy .

Consider an economy with a natural unemployment rate, u, of 4%. The expectations-augmented Phillips curve is Assume that Okun's Law holds so that a 1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate maintained for one year reduces GDP by 2% of full employment output. Note: Okun's Law can be expressed as: 2( u-u) a. Consider a two-year disinflation. In the first year actual inflation, π' is 14% and expected inflation, π.s 18%.

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...

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.
