  1. Unit 3:Aggregate Demand and Supply and Fiscal Policy 1

  2. The Phillips Curve The tradeoff between inflation and unemployment. What happens to inflation and unemployment when AD increase?

  3. In general, there is an inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation 3

  4. Short Run Phillips Curve When the economy is overheating, there is low unemployment but high inflation Inflation When there is a recession, unemployment is high but inflation is low 5% 1% SRPC 2% 9% Unemployment 4

  5. AD/AS and the Phillips Curve

  6. Progression of the Phillips Curve 1960’s - unemployment was high and inflation was low. 1958, A.W. Phillips studied the relationship of wages and unemployment 1970’s - high inflation and high unemployment Milton Friedman and Edmund Phelps say there “two” Phillips Curve One Short Run Curve and One Long Run Curve

  17. Assume that a country’s economy is experiencing significant demand pull inflation. A.)Draw a correctly labeled graph of aggregate demand and aggregate supply showing the following: I.)Price level and output. II.)Full employment output B.) How does demand pull inflation affect the Phillips Curve? C.)Identify a fiscal policy that will return the economy to full employment output and show the change on the graph in part (A) D.)This country decides to make a large investment in education and assume this country makes two goods (X and Y) draw a production possibilities curve showing effects of this policy change. E.) How is LRAS affected by the change in policy made in section D?
