Suppose the government misjudges the natural rate of unemployment to be much lower than it actually is, and thus undertakes expansionary fiscal and monetary policies to try to achieve the lower rate. Use the concept of the short-run Phillips Curve to explain why these policies might at first succeed. Use the concept of the long-run Phillips Curve to explain the long-run outcome of these policies.

In the short run, an unexpected decrease in the money supply results in an increase in the inflation rate and the unemployment rate. On the following graph, shift the curve or drag the blue point along the curve, or do both, to show the long-run effects of the decrease in the money supply. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (Percent) L 1 In the long run, the decrease in the money supply results in an increase in the inflation rate and the unemployment rate relative to the economy's initial equilibrium.

A well-known economic model called the Phillips Curve (discussed in The Keynesian Perspective chapter) describes the short run tradeoff typically observed between inflation and unemployment. Based on the discussion of expansionary and contractionary monetary policy, explain why one of these variables usually falls when the other rises.
