Suppose that the money supply increases in the short run, this will increase prices according to __________.
Group of answer choices
both the short run Phillips curve and the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model
neither the short run Phillips curve not the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model
the short run Phillips curve but not the aggregate demand and aggregate
the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model but not the short Run Phillips curve
Increase in money supply increases the prices and real output in the short run. So, it can be said that increase in money supply increases the prices and decreases the unemployment in the short run.
According to short run Phillips curve there is is a negative relationship between inflation and unemployment. According to short run Phillips curve therefore an increase in money supply which decreases unemployment must increase price level.
In the aggregate demand and aggregate supply framework an increase in money supply lead to a rightward shift in the aggregate demand curve which leads to an increase in prices and output in the short run. Therefore according to aggregate demand and aggregate supply model, Increase in the money supply in the short run will increase prices.
As shown above the Increase in money supply in the short run will increase prices according to both the short run Phillips curve and the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model.
Therefore first option is correct.
