The following graph plots a short-run Phillips curve for a hypothetical economy.

Show the short-run effect of a contractionary monetary policy by dragging the point along the short-run Phillips curve (SRPC) or shifting the curve to the appropriate position.

Now, show the long-run effect of a contractionary monetary policy by dragging either the short-run Phillips curve (SRPC), the long-run Phillips curve (LRPC), or both.

As anticipated, inflation (rises/falls) and the short-run Phillips curve shifts (downward/upward) , highlighting the cost of fighting inflation, which is (higher unemployment in the long run/temporary unemployment/lower unemployment) .

Which of the following examples represents a cost of inflation? Check all that apply.

-An unintended redistribution of wealth from borrowers to lenders

-A general decrease in purchasing power

-Increased variability of relative prices

-A coffee shop’s costs to reprint its menu to reflect fluctuating prices

Show the short-run effect of a contractionary monetary policy by dragging the point along the short-run Phillips curve (SRPC) or shifting the curve to
