The equation of the Phillips curve from 1970 to 1995 is: -17.4-1.2u₁. The natural rate of unemployment using this curve is 6.2%. (round your answer to one decimal place) The equation of the Phillips curve from 1996 to 2018 is: x=2.8% -0.16+ Which of the following explains why the natural rate of unemployment cannot immediately be calculated from the Philips curve? A. The expression only provides Ⓡ and a. B. The equation does not include a specific value for expected inflation. C. The expression only provides (m + z) and . D. None of the above. Using the line drawing tool, accurately graph the Phillips relation=2.8% -0.16 with inflation on the vertical axis and unemployment on the horizontal axis. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. What is the natural rate of unemployment using the relation = 2.8% -0.16u, under the assumption that the value of x=2% The natural rate of unemployment fell to 5% between 1970-1995 and 1996-2018?

(f) Discuss the differences, and similarities if any, between the Phillips Curve and Okun's Law.
Suppose that the public expects that inflation will be high and that episodes of high unemployment are politically difficult for policymakers. Is it possible for the economy to be at a bad equilibrium as a result of people’s expectations of inflation (i.e. expectations trap)? Explain in terms of a Phillips Curve diagram.
Use the following information to answer the next two questions.. Consider the Phillips curve л₁=₂-E(U-U*) with E-1.2, u*-0.06, and n=0.06. Suppose that up-u". Suppose the current government pressures the RBA to bring the economy to an unemployment rate of 0.04 for the next period. With adaptive expectations, what inflation rate should the RBA target? (enter "x" without the quotes if there is not an inflation rate that can produce the target unemployment.) Report your answer as a decimal fraction up to two decimal points.
The Phillips curve in Lowland takes the form of π = 0.04 – 0.5 (u – 0.05), where π is the actual inflation rate and u is the unemployment rate. The Phillips curve in Highland takes the form of π = 0.08 – 0.5 (u – 0.05). The current unemployment rate in both countries is 9 percent (0.09). Explain the similarities in the Phillips curves in Highland and in Lowland.
a) Explain the concept of the natural rate of unemployment using the expectations-augmented (modified or modern) Phillips curve model. b) Why is this model useful for policy-makers?
Explain what happens to the economy if there is a temporary consumption boom that lasts for one period and the central banks keep the nominal interest rate unchanged. Include the Phillips curve and allow the economy to evolve over time.
How can you show an output gap on the vertical phillips curve model?(can use the full inflation targeting model if that helps)
