- 14. The natural rate of unemployment is the a, unemployment rate that would prevail with zero inflation. b. rate associated with the highest possible level of GDP. c. difference between the long-run and short-run unemployment rates. d. amount of unemployment that the economy normally experiences. 15. Suppose that the adult population in some country is 225 million. If 40 million are unemployed and 100 employed, then the unemployment rate is approximately a. 29% b.18% c. 24%. d. 6% 16....
3. Discuss the relationship between the natural rate of unemployment, Un, and the Phillips curve, 1lt – itt-1 = -a(ut – Un); and explain why the natural rate of unemployment is also known as the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU). Hints: The central assumption used to derive the Phillips curve, Tet – 1lt-1 = -a(Ut – Un), was that tę = Tt-1, where tę represents expected inflation. What does this mean? Assume that Ut = Un. What happens to...

If the Bank of Canada were to miscalculate the NAIRU (non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment) as being 10% when in fact it was 12%, it might cause O A. consumers to spend more than they intended, because the Bank of Canada misled them about the unemployment rate. O B. a reduction in the natural rate of unemployment, because it would be allowing inflation to occur. O c. a one-time reduction in unemployment, because of a one-time increase in the money...

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...
