Inflation and unemployment Suppose that the government believes the economy is not producing goods and services at its optimal level. In an attempt to stimulate the economy, the government increases the quantity of money in the economy by printing more money. This monetary policy ____ the economy's demand for goods and services, leading to ____ product prices. In the short run, the change in prices induces firms to produce _____ goods and services. This, in turn, leads to a ____ level of unemployment. In other words, the economy faces a trade-off between inflation and unemployment: Higher inflation leads to ____ unemployment.

Inflation and Unemployment Suppose that the government believes the economy is producing goods and services beyond its optimal level. The government therefore decides to decrease the quantity of money in the economy. This monetary policy reduces the economy's demand for goods and services, leading to lower product prices. In the short run, the change in prices induces firms to produce fewer goods and services. This, in turn, leads to a higher level of unemployment. In other words, the economy faces a trade-off between inflation and unemployment: Lower inflation leads to higher unemployment.
