In the short-run you know that firms and households expect inflation of 3.6% next year. There are no
supply shocks and cyclical unemployment is 1.09%. Lambda is 0.5. With this information, what is the
inflation rate today?
Write your answer as a percentage, round at one (1) decimal, and do not write the percentage sign. Use
a minus sign if needed.
The Economy in 2008In the first half of June 2008 the effects of a housing and financial crisis and an increase in world prices of oil and foodstuffs were affecting the economy.
Refer to The Economy in 2008. The short-run effects of rising world commodity prices are shown by
a.
moving to the right along the short-run Phillips curve.
b.
shifting the short-run Phillips curve right.
c.
moving to the left along the short-run Phillips curve.
d.
shifting the short-run Phillips curve left.
Explain how inflation was finally tamed in the early 1980's. Comment on which policy was used and how it affected the price level, output, and unemployment

Use graphical analysis to illustrate the short-run and long-run Phillips Curves for this economy.

For all statements, briefly explain why they are true or false. a) Economists projected inflation rate to be 4% in 2022 in country X. In reality, inflation rate was 7%. Borrowers in country X are better off.b) The government in country X decided to print more money and give transfers of $1,000 to citizens who recently retired. It will cause a decrease in money supply, so the value of money will increase, and prices will decrease.c) Countries X and Y are neighbors. When the government in country X decides to print more money, the value of currency of country Y increases, so this currency appreciates, while the currency of country X depreciates.d) Budget surplus in country X causes a shift of the supply curve for loanable funds to the left, so the real interest rate increases. Then, the net capital outflow decreases, and hence the real exchange rate decreasesarrow_forwardThe following graphs show the state of an economy that is currently in long-run equilibrium.
