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 of Phillips curve of this economy, assuming that it is
linear.

If the economy is at the natural rate of unemployment with the level of real GDP at potential output, what would expansionary fiscal or monetary policy do to the economy? How would the economy be effected in the short run and long run? Does the Phillips Curve theory explain what happens?

You are given that the economy has a natural rate of unemployment of 3.3%. Let inflation change by -0.3 percentage points. Assuming a slope of 1/3, use the Phillips Curve and Okun's Law to fine the corresponding unemployment rate. Note: find short run output first, then the unemployment rate. Do not type the "%" sign, and round to two decimal places. Example: .0815 = 8.15% should be entered as 8.15

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%.

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...
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
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.

Suppose that Phillips curve for an economy is given by πt = πe t + 0.12−3.ut and in the year 2010 the unemployment rate in this economy is at its natural level but inflation is 20%. The unemployment rate is at its natural level and the inflation expectations are formed according to πe t = πt−1. The central bank wants to reduce the inflation rate to 2%, but it does not want unemployment to increase by more than two percentage...

Problem 3.(36 points) Suppose the natural rate of unemployment equals 5%, and the Phillips curve is given by πt = πte − 0.25(ut − u∗t ). Suppose originally the economy is in the long run equilibrium, in which πte = 4%. 1. Determine unemployment and inflation rates corresponding to the original equilibrium. 2. Draw the Philips curve diagram with SRPC and LRPC. Mark the original long run equilibrium. 3. Suppose now the central bank performs a monetary expansion and raises...
