VerifiedStudents must use a graph similar to the one below. Initially the economy is on point 1 with an aggregate output equal to the normal rate output. Supposing that workers succeed in seeking higher wages as they want to increase their real wages. The effect of such an increase will be similar to a negative supply shock and will shift the short-term aggregate supply curve to the left so that the economy slides to point 1'. If we have an activist government with a high employment target point 1' is associated with increased unemployment and lower output, so the government will implement policies to raise the aggregate demand and shift the aggregate demand curve to AD₂ so that we will return to the natural rate level of output at point 2 with a higher price level. Workers may be encouraged to seek even higher wages due to the increased price level and if they succeed and the government continues to accommodate this the economy will move from point 2 to 2', 3, 3', and 4 on the graph. But the continuous shift of the demand curve to the right cannot be sustained by fiscal policy as government spending and tax cuts have limits. This policy can only be sustained to create inflation only with an increasing money supply. Thus, a cost-push inflation is a monetary phenomenon because it cannot occur without the monetary authorities pursuing an accommodating policy of a higher rate of money growth.
