Question 3Suppose inflation over the next year is expected to be 5%, and assume there are no supplyshocks. What rate of inflation will the short-run Phillips curve show at the natural rate ofunemployment?0%b) Between 0% and 5%c) 5%d) Over 5%Question 4Which of the following explains why the long-run Phillips curve is drawn as a vertical line?a) Because in the long run, government policies will ensure that unemployment is at itsnatural rate.b) Because in the long run, the labour market will settle so that unemployment is at itsnatural rate.Because of the quantity theory of money.d) Because its true shape is unknown.Question 5Which of the following might shift the short-run Phillips curve to the left?8) A rise in the expected rate of inflation.b) A natural disaster which temporarily disrupts production.c) A rise in the benefits paid to unemployed people.d) An increase in the labour force.

The following graph depicts the short-run and long-run Phillips curves (SRPC and LRPC) for a hypothetical economy in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium at point A, where the natural unemployment rate is 6% and the current inflation rate is 8% per year.
Consider a version of the Phillips curve where a proportion of wages, 1 >> 0, are now indexed to the rate of inflation. In these labor contracts, nominal wages move one-for-one with the actual price level. The remaining proportion of wages, (1-2), are set on the basis of expected inflation: nt λnt (1) et+ (m+z)-aut (2) a. Suppose that лet=πt-1. Solve for the natural rate of unemployment (the rate such that t=t-1). Is the natural rate of unemployment different as a result of wage indexation? b. Re-write the Phillips curve in terms of the difference between чt and un using the value for un you calculated in (a). How does wage indexation impact the way changes in inflation respond to deviations of the unemployment rate from the natural rate? What is the intuition for this result?
Derive the Phillips Curve from the Short Run Aggregate Supply (SRAS) Curve and discuss the relevance of their relationship for the Ghanaian economy.
Assume that the economy self corrects to long-run equilibrium without a governmental policy. Which of the following is the correct adjustment on the Phillips Curve Graph?
Assume the Phillips curve is given by tt = 2nt-1 + Y^t + zt where t is inflation in period t, Y^ t is the output gap in period t, and zt is cost-push inflation in period t. In period 0, inflation is 4%. In period 1, z1 = -0.01 due to an unexpected productivity increase. For all other periods, zt = 0. The output gap is zero all the time.

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.
Assume an imaginary country called Narnia. Firms in this country heavily rely on natural gas as a raw material to produce the final output. Assume a sudden fall in the price of natural gas. This shock is an event that directly affects firms' costs of production and thus the price that they charge. Describe the effects of this shock on the aggregate supply curve and on the Phillips curve of the economy of Narnia. Use a diagrammatic analysis to provide your answer.
MA4. 13. If the equation for a country's Phillips curve is π = 0.05 – 0.8(u – 0.05), where π is the rate of inflation and u is the unemployment rate, what is the short-run inflation rate when unemployment is 3 percent (0.03)? A) .066 B) -.056 C) -.066 D) .056 11. The aggregate supply equation is Y = Y + α(P – EP). Assume that Y is 2,000, α = 200, P = 1.12 and EP = 1.00. What is the value of Y?
