10. Inflation and unemployment Suppose that, in an attempt to combat severe inflation, the government decides to decrease the amount of money in circulation in the economy. This monetary policy action (Increase/decrease) demand for goods and services in the economy, leading to (Higher/lower) prices for products. In the short run, the change in prices induces firms to produce (Fewer/more) goods and services. This, in turn, leads to a (Higher/lower) unemployment level. Based on this analysis, the economy faces the following trade-off between inflation and unemployment: Lower inflation leads to (Higher/lower) unemployment.
