Inflation and Unemployment: The Phillips Curve
Use the following information to work Problem.
Because the Fed doubled the monetary base in 2008 and the government spent billions of dollars bailing out troubled banks, insurance companies, and auto producers, some people are concerned that a serious upturn in the inflation rate will occur, not immediately but in a few years' time. At the same time, massive changes in the global economy might bring the need for structural change in the United States.
Explain how the Fed's doubling of the monetary base and government bailouts might influence the short-run and long-run unemployment-inflation tradeoffs. Will the influence come from changes in the expected inflation rate, the natural unemployment rate, or both?
