Long–Run Consequences of Stabilization Policies
In the long run, is there a trade-off between inflation and unemployment?
It depends on the level of government intervention
Yes, there is a trade-off between inflation and unemployment in the long run
It depends on the level of economic growth
No, there is no trade-off between inflation and unemployment in the long run
What happens to inflation and unemployment when there is an increase in aggregate demand (AD)?
Inflation falls, but unemployment rises
Both inflation and unemployment fall
Both inflation and unemployment rise
Inflation rises, but unemployment falls
What is depicted by a point on the Phillips Curve?
A specific combination of inflation and unemployment rates.
The trade-off between production levels and consumer demand.
The relationship between money supply and interest rates.
The balance between government spending and tax revenues.
If a central bank successfully targets inflation at a low stable rate over time, what is one likely long-term effect on price stability?
It decreases overall production as firms cannot adjust prices quickly.
It increases the volatility of exchange rates due to uncertainty.
It creates predictable economic conditions that encourage investment.
It leads to high fluctuations in consumer price levels each year.
What happens to the short-run Phillips curve (SRPC) when there is a positive supply shock?
The SRPC shifts to the right
The SRPC shifts to the left
The SRPC becomes steeper
The SRPC remains unchanged
What happens on the Phillips curve when there is an increase in aggregate demand?
Inflation decreases and unemployment increases
Unemployment decreases and inflation increases
Both inflation and unemployment decrease
Both inflation and unemployment increase
What effect would an expansionary monetary policy likely have on both variables in the short-run Philips curve equation?
Increase in price level while decreasing unemployment.
Both variables increase together.
Decrease in price level while increasing unemployment.
No change as monetary policy only affects interest rates.

Why does the unemployment rate remain constant in the long run?
The economy tends to adjust itself after temporary changes in policy, business cycles, and economic conditions.
The unemployment rate is not necessarily constant in the long-run.
The government always intervenes with policies to control the unemployment rate.
Unemployment levels never change, both in the short-run and long-run.
In situations where central banks aim for low and inflation targets, what is the likely long-run effect on the unemployment rate according to the Phillips Curve?
The lower set inflation targets will permanently reduce unemployment rates
Unemployment rates should continuously increase with lower inflation targets
There will be no long-run effect on unemployment rate
There will be a steady increase in income tax rates to sustain low unemployment rate
What typically happens to inflation when unemployment decreases according to the Phillips Curve?
Inflation decreases.
Inflation remains constant.
There's no relation to inflation.
Inflation increases.
