Suppose that the firms' markup over cost is 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).
What is the natural rate of unemployment?
(please answer in the form 0.xxxx (which 4 digital places), e.g. 0.1234 representing 12.34%)
