Suppose that the policy-makers of a foreign country decide to enact policy that reduces unemployment (at the expense of higher prices) just before an election. At the time of the election, however, the reduction in unemployment is much greater than expected, and the pesky inflation increase never occurs. The graph illustrates the economy before the government attempts to reduce unemployment. Change the graph to illustrate changes in the economy that could result in lower unemployment without an increase in prices. Note that LRAS represents long-run aggregate supply, SRAS represents short-run aggregate supply, and AD represents aggregate demand. V LRAS SRAS

Consider a fictional price index, the College Student Price Index (CSPI), based on a typical college student’s annual purchases. Suppose the following table shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2017, 2018, and 2019. The cost of each item in the basket and the total cost of the basket are shown for 2017. Perform these same calculations for 2018 and 2019, and enter the results in the following table. **THE TABLE IS ATTACHED** Suppose the base year for this price index is 2017. In the last row of the table, calculate and enter the value of the CSPI for the remaining years. Between 2017 and 2018, the CSPI increased by_________%. Between 2018 and 2019, the CSPI increased by_________%. Which of the following, if true, would illustrate why price indexes such as the CSPI might overstate inflation in the cost of going to college? Check all that apply. As the price of textbooks increased, more and more students…

FILL IN THE BLANKS Unemployment occurs when a worker who is not currently employed is unable to find suitable paid employment. In every economy, however, there will always be people moving between jobs. This group is known as the unemployed. But, if finding another job takes so long so that the individual stops looking, then he/she is classified as a worker and is no longer counted in the unemployment statistics. An economy’s natural rate of unemployment is the sum of its frictional and employment. If the labor market become more efficient so that people looking for work find matching jobs quicker, then the natural rate of unemployment will . The increase in unemployment that occurs during recessions (or downturns) in the economy is known as the type of unemployment.
