Economics Concept Introduction

Philips curve:

The Phillips curve is an economic concept which states a significant opposite relationship between inflation and unemployment. The long-run Phillips curve at the level of full employment represents the relationship between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate. At the stage when the natural rate and the expected inflation are constant, the short-run Phillips curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate.

1. Aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and the Phillips curve In the year 2020, aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the fictional country of Bartak are represented by the curves AD2020 and AS on the following graph. The price level is 102. The graph also shows two possible outcomes for 2021. The first potential aggregate demand curve is given by the ADA curve, resulting in the outcome illustrated by point A. The second potential aggregate demand curve is given by the ADB curve, resulting in the outcome illustrated by point B.

Based on the previous graph, you would expect to be associated with the lower unemployment rate (3%). If aggregate demand is high in 2021, and the economy is at outcome B, the inflation rate between 2020 and 2021 is Based on your answers to the…
