For each of the following scenarios, illustrate the effects of the development on both the short-run and long-run Phillips curves (SRPC and LRPC, respectively).
1. There is a fall in the natural rate of unemployment.
2. There is a decline in expected inflation.
3. There is a fall in government spending.
4. There is a rise in the price of imported oil.
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.

Aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and the Phillips curve
In the year 2027, aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the imaginary country of Daisen-Oki are represented by the curves AD 2027 and AS on the following graph. The price level is currently 102. The graph also shows two potential outcomes for 2028. The first possible aggregate demand curve is given by the curve labeled AD(a) curve, resulting in the outcome given by point A. The second possible aggregate demand curve is given by the curve labeled AD(b), resulting in the outcome given by point B.
Suppose the unemployment rate is 7% under one of these two outcomes and 6% under the other. Based on the previous graph, you would expect (OUTCOME A or OUTCOME B) to be associated with the higher unemployment rate (7%).
If aggregate demand is high in 2028, and the economy is at outcome B, the inflation rate between 2027 and 2028 is (1.96% or 5.00% or 4.00% or 2.94%).
Based on your answers to the previous…
