Demonstrate graphically and explain the short-run and long-run
effects of an unanticipated monetary expansion in the new classical
model. In your opinion, would the results change in the short-run
or the long-run if labour union was not in existence in the
economy?
What are the short and long run effects of using any of the

applied)?
