Question 30

Figure 16-3 Panel (a) Panel (b) Suppose the level of potential output (Y_P) is $1,000 billion and the natural rate of unemployment is 5%. In Panel (a), the aggregate demand curve in Period 1 is AD₁. Assume that the price level in Period 1 has risen by 1.5% from the previous period and the unemployment rate is 10%. Thus, in Panel (b) point F shows an initial rate of inflation of 1.5% and an unemployment rate of 10%. Similarly, point b in Panel (a) corresponds to point G in Panel (b) and point d in Panel (a) corresponds to point H in Panel (b). -Refer to Figure 16-3. Suppose the economy is operating at point a.
