Using the IS-MP model with Phillips curve, show why the Fed has limited abilities during bouts of stagflation. For this version of stagflation, assume that there's a supply shock but LaTeX: \tilde{Y}Y ~remains at LaTeX: \tilde{Y} = 0Y ~ = 0 and LaTeX: \piπ is higher after the shock.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Stagflation is caused due to shocks on the supply side which causes prices to rise and business costs to shoot up. The explaination of the Fed's ability to stimulate the economy is due to the threat of further price increase after increasing money supply. The logical flow is explained in the solution along with diagrams for assistance. Please read the solution and then tyr ot make sense of the diagrams.

When answering parts a and b, draw the relevant Phillips curve. Using a short-run Phillips curve, what is the effect on the unemployment rate if the inflation rate unexpectedly rises.
