Consider a Phillips curve of the form where expected inflation is given by . (Assume that .) Now, initially, percent, = 7 percent, and percent. Suppose that the CB believes that inflation is too high and decides to use contractionary monetary policy so that inflation falls to 4 percent. That is But expected inflation is still As a result of the CB’s disinflationary policy, the following occurs: (Hint: Use Okun’s Law) Question 35 options: unemployment falls by 4%, output rises by 12% and the sacrifice ratio is 3. unemployment rises by 7%, output falls by 21% and the sacrifice ratio is 7. unemployment falls by 7%, output rises by 21% and the sacrifice ratio is -7 unemployment rises by 10%, output falls by 30% and the sacrifice ratio is 10.
