Question

The following graph shows the relationship between the unemployment rate and the inflation rate in a hypothetical economy. Suppose that the economy is in a situation where, because of cost factors (for example, a spike in energy prices), inflation will be at least 3.00 percent, and the number of unskilled workers and people "between jobs" (sometimes called "frictional unemployment") cause the unemployment rate to be at least 3.70 percent. Suppose the economy is currently sitting at 4.35 percent unemployment and 5.50 percent inflation and that the central bank decides to implement a restrictive monetary policy. (Hint: Click anywhere on the curve to view some points that make it up.) INFLATION (Percent) Which of the following are unemployment and inflation possibilities given the monetary policy? Check all that apply. ? 5.00 percent unemployment; 3.00 percent inflation ? 8.00 percent unemployment; 3.00 percent inflation ? 6.00 percent unemployment; 4.00 percent inflation ? 3.80 percent unemployment; 7.50 percent inflation Now suppose that oil prices increase substantially and that hundreds of training centers for unskilled workers close down.

INFLATION (Percent)
Which of the following are unemployment and inflation possibilities given the monetary policy? Check all that apply.
? 5.00 percent unemployment; 3.00 percent inflation
? 8.00 percent unemployment; 3.00 percent inflation
? 6.00 percent unemployment; 4.00 percent inflation
? 3.80 percent unemployment; 7.50 percent inflation
Now suppose that oil prices increase substantially and that hundreds of training centers for unskilled workers close down.
