Question: Evaluate the relationship between unemployment and inflation in the context of the Phillips Curve. Provide a detailed explanation of the Phillips Curve concept and how it demonstrates the trade-off between unemployment and inflation. Discuss the validity of this relationship in the short run versus the long run, citing historical economic examples. Also, explore how factors like expectations and supply shocks can influence this trade-off and potentially lead to scenarios like stagflation.
The following graph shows the combinations of unemployment and inflation that existed in the United States from 1961 through 1969.

Incorrect Question 25 An economy is described using the following equations: C = 120+ 0.2(Y-T) 1=200 G=70 NX = -50 T-100 Y-375 Find the total level of unemployment at Y. 1.66% 3.33% 6.66% 8.12% 1.87%
For parts (a) and (b) assume that the following information applies to an economy: • the nominal wage rate in the economy is $24 per hour • the aggregate price level is $8 • there is a 90% employment rate. (b) Using a wage-setting curve, show the effect of a 50% reduction in the aggregate price level on the unemployment rate in the economy. On your diagram you will also need to indicate the total labour force for the economy. (ESSAY FORM PLEASE THANKS)
1. The table below reports the unemployment rate, labor force participation rate, and (working-age) population for the United States in January 2008, 2011, and 2016. Using the data, answer the following questions. a) What was the size of the labor force at the start of each year? b) How many people were officially unemployed at the start of each year? c) What about these numbers may cause some concern even though the unemployment rate to start 2016 was a notch below the unemployment rate in 2008 as the economy was entering the Great Recession? Unemployment Rate Labor Force Participation Rate Working-age Population 2008 5.0% 2011 9.1% 64.2% 2016 4.9% 66.2% 234m 62.7% 251m 238m
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.
2. Analyze the effects of the following developments on both the short-run and the long-run Phillips curves. Use the graphs and explain in detail: a) a rise in the natural rate of unemployment b) a substantial increase in the price of energy
Step 1 Plot the graphs. The corresponding table includes a breakdown including Inflation Rate, Unemployment Rate, Price Level, and Real GDP. Using the data below, plot the graphs: Plot the short-run Phillips curve and the aggregate supply curve on separate graphs. Plot the long-run Phillips curve on a separate graph, when the natural unemployment rate is 6%. Inflation Rate Unemployment Rate Price Level Real GD 2% 7% 104 9.8 3% 6% 103 10.0 4% 5% 102 10.2
The following graphs show the state of an economy that is currently in long-run equilibrium. The first graph shows the aggregate demand (AD) and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curves. The second shows the long-run and short-run Phillips curves (LRPC and SRPC). PRICE LEVEL INFLATION RATE 0 3 LRAS 4 5 LRPC 9 AD O AD LRAS 6 12 UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (Percent) 15 SRPC 18 Ⓒ SRPC - LRPC
