How does the modern view of the Phillips curve differ from the earlier view? ___The early view of the Phillips curve suggested that the Phillips curve shifts with changes in inflation expectations. Such a view failed to recognize that the Phillips curve is a fixed inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment. ___The early view of the Phillips curve suggested that the Phillips curve is fixed, with higher rates of inflation associated with lower rates of unemployment, and vice versa. Such a view failed to recognize the importance of inflation expectations in determining the position of the short-run Phillips curve. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

Consider the Friedman-Phelps model of the Phillips Curve as discussed in lecture. Assume the economy is currently at Y-full employment. When the Fed sells government securities to the public, and there are no other exogenous shocks to the economy, which one of the following is predicted to happen? The actual inflation rate increases, and the unemployment rate increases permanently. O The actual inflation rate increases, and the unemployment rate increases first and then gradually goes back to the natural rate of unemployment. O The actual inflation rate decreases, and the unemployment rate increases first and then gradually goes back to the natural rate of unemployment. The actual inflation rate decreases, and the unemployment rate increases permanently. The actual inflation rate decreases, and the unemployment rate decreases first and then gradually goes back to the natural rate of unemployment.
Draw the short-run and long-run Phillips curve. Label three points representing a recessionary gap, and inflationary gap, and full employment output. Identify what happens to the short-run Phillips curve when there is a change in aggregate demand and when there is a change in aggregate supply.
Using the inflation-unemployment version of the Phillips curve with adaptive expectations, ifaggregate demand increasesA)workers will realize that inflation has changed in the long run but not in the short run.B)the SRPC will immediately shift to the right as workers expect higher pricesC)workers will mistakenly work less, resulting in a decrease in inflation and increase inunemploymentD)actual inflation will be less than expected inflation, resulting in workers mistakenly workingmore and unemployment falling.
The long-run Phillips Curve describes: The relationship between unemployment and inflation after expectations of inflation have had time to adjust to experience. O An increase in expected inflation will cause nominal wages to rise, shifting both SRAS and the Phillips Curve up. That there is a predictable negative relationship between the output gap and the unemployment rate but it is not one to one. The negative short-run relationship between the unemployment rate and the inflation rate.
Consider a typical downward sloping short run Phillips curve. Which combination of events could cause 1) a movement along the particular short run Phillips curve (SRPC) to the "south-east" and then followed by 2) a leftward shift of the entire SRPC? Group of answer choices a)Decrease in government spending followed by a rightward shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve. b) Increase in money supply followed by a rightward shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve. c)Decrease in government spending followed by a leftward shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve. d)Increase in government spending followed by a rightward shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve.
Assume that the cconomy of Country X his an actual unemployment rate of 7%, a natural rate of unemployment of 5%, and an inflation rate of 3%. Using the numerical values given above, draw a correctly labeled graph of the short-run and long-run Phillips curves. Label the current short-run equilibrium as point B. Plot the numerical values above onthe graph. Assume that the government of Country X takes no policy action to reduce unemployment. In the long run, will each of the following shill to the right, shift to the left, or remain the same? (i) Short-run aggregate supply curve. Explain. (ii) Long-run Phillips curve Identify a fiscal policy action that could be used to reduce the unemployment rate in the short run. Draw a correctly labeled graph of aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply, and show the impact on the equilibrium price level and real gross domestic product (GDP) of the fiscal policy action identified
Does the Phillips curve have a positive or negative slope? Explain how this slope is derived. When will an increase in aggregate demand not result in lower unemployment rates in the short run?
Which of the following is downward-sloping? a. both the long-run Phillips curve and the long-run aggregate-supply curve b. neither the long-run Phillips curve nor the long-run aggregate-supply curve c. the short-run Phillips curve, but not the long-run aggregate-supply curve d. the long-run Phillips curve, but not the long-run aggregate-supply curve
The Phillips curve represents the relationship between unemployment and inflation. You are required to think about the impact on the economy of movements along the curve. If the unemployment rate in the economy is steady at 4 percent per year, how does the short-run Phillips curve predict that the inflation rate will be changing, if at all? What will happen if the unemployment rate now rises to 7 percent per year? Assume there are no changes to inflation expectations. Provide an appropriate graph to support your discussion.
How does the short-run Phillips curve reflect an increase in the price of oil such as occurred in the early 1970s? as a leftward shift in the short-run Phillips curve as a rightward shift in the short-run Phillips curve as a downward movement along the short-run Phillips curve as an upward movement along the short-run Phillips curve
Since the short-run Philips curve is downward sloping and the long-run Phillips curve is vertical there can never be simultaneous unemployment inflation TRUE / FALSE
