How can you show an output gap on the vertical phillips curve model?(can use the full inflation targeting model if that helps)
draw a single correctly labeled graph with both the short run and long run Phillips curves. Label the initial short run equilibrium as point X
Aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and the Phillips curve In the year 2027, aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the imaginary country of Daisen-Oki are represented by the curves AD 2027 and AS on the following graph. The price level is currently 102. The graph also shows two potential outcomes for 2028. The first possible aggregate demand curve is given by the curve labeled AD(a) curve, resulting in the outcome given by point A. The second possible aggregate demand curve is given by the curve labeled AD(b), resulting in the outcome given by point B. Suppose the unemployment rate is 7% under one of these two outcomes and 6% under the other. Based on the previous graph, you would expect (OUTCOME A or OUTCOME B) to be associated with the higher unemployment rate (7%). If aggregate demand is high in 2028, and the economy is at outcome B, the inflation rate between 2027 and 2028 is (1.96% or 5.00% or 4.00% or 2.94%). Based on your answers to the previous…
As with demand and supply analysis, changes in the economy can cause both shifts of and movements along the short-run Phillips curve. Which of the following would cause a shift of the short-run Phillips curve? Check all that apply. An increase in government spending A decrease in short-run aggregate supply An increase in the expected inflation rate
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

Assume that the United States economy is currently in a recession in a short-run equilibrium. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the short-run and long-run Phillips curves. Use the letter X to label a point to represent the current state of the economy in recession.
Under the assumption of anticipated shocks, can policymakers exploit the Phillips curve relationship in the short-run? In the long run?
The economy in Country X is in a recession, with real gross domestic product (GDP) $100 billion below full-employment output. (a) Draw one correctly labeled graph of the short-run and long-run Phillips curves, labeling the current equilibrium point A. (b) Assume that the government increases spending by $20 billion to stimulate economic activity. Assume that the marginal propensity to save is 0.25. Calculate the maximum total change in real GDP that could occur following the $20 billion increase in government spending. (c) On your graph in part (a), label the new equilibrium point B as a result of the increase in government spending. (d) Had the government lowered personal income taxes by $20 billion instead of increasing spending by $20 billion, would the maximum total change in real GDP be greater than, smaller than, or the same as the one calculated in part (b) ? Explain.
True or false? An increase in inflation expectations shifts the short-run Phillips curve right and has no effect on the long-run Phillips curve.
Imagine there is a Eurozone recession.
The following graph plots the short-run and long-run Phillips curves (SRPC and LRPC, respectively) for an economy currently experiencing long-run macroeconomic equilibrium at point A, where the natural unemployment rate is 6% and the inflation rate is 8% per year. Suppose that the central bank for this economy has decided that inflation is too high and thus wants to decrease the inflation rate by 6 percentage points per year. A reduction in the rate of inflation is known as (deflation/disinflation) . To reduce inflation from 8% to 2% in the short run, the central bank would have to accept an unemployment rate of ____% True or False: If people have rational expectations, the economy may not have to endure an unemployment rate as high as predicted by the short-run Phillips curve. -True -False
