Evaluate the historical relationship between unemployment and
inflation. (hint: You may start from A.W. Phillips’s finding of the
relationship between unemployment and inflation.)
The positive relationship between inflation and unemployment in
the Philips curve comes from that
Job searchers underestimate the future inflation
Job searchers overestimate the future inflation
Firms have no expectation
When the Fed buys bonds, it:

Assuming that there is no long-run relationship between the
inflation rate and unemployment. If this is true, then why is it
that people pay such close attention to every move made by the
Fed?
What are the reasons for an observed relationship
between inflation and unemployment in the long run having a upward
sloping line instead of a vertical line as in the long run Philip's
curve ?
An economist is studying the relationship between unemployment
and inflation, and has collected the following data. Inflation
appears in columns, unemployment in rows (this question is worth 5
marks).

The relationship between inflation and unemployment is given
by π = π$ − 3(u − 0.06).
(a) What is the value of the natural rate of
unemployment?
(b) If actual inflation is 0.02 and expected inflation is
0.05, what is the unemployment rate?
(c) If an aggregate demand shock (resulting from increased
exports of goods) raises the inflation rate to 0.08 (the natural
rate of unemployment and the expected inflation rate are not
affected). What is the numerical value of...
Present a thorough analysis of the inverse relationship between
inflation and unemployment reflected by the Phillips curve.
Describe the importance of expectations and how they affect the
actual relationship between the inflation rate and the unemployment
rate.
a) Explain the relationship between unemployment and inflation
