Suppose that the firms' markup over cost is initially 10% and that the wage determination equation when Pe=P is W = P(1-u) where u = unemployment rate (assume for simplicity, that the catch-all variable z does not enter wage setting). Now suppose that there is a permanent increase in the oil price that increases the markup to 15%. Keeping all else constant, what is the absolute change in the natural level of unemployment (i.e. Un2- Un1 = ?) ? (please...
