[Terlob]

[jasonml]

a

 

[runnable]

Sry 7 = a

because

For 7, unemployment will increase because hidden unemployment will decrease due to better economic conditions, hence increasing unemployment in the short run.

 

[eskimoh]

i put a but one or two other ppl i asked put c

 

[runnable]

dw eski, its definitely A.

 

[tau281290]

It is definitely C because it says INITIAL impact. Only the Long term impact would be A and this can be explained using the Long Run Phillips Curve which I cbb to explain.

 

[runnable]

Sry philips curve is not part of that question whatsoever. It was obviously testing NAIRU and hidden unemployment.

 

[tau281290]

You know Long run phillips curve is not quite just phillips curve.

Its full name is Friedman-phelps Expecations Augmented Phillips curve which explains why what happens when AD is increased at NAIRU. Initial impact would be a decrease in U/E and increase in inflation, over the long term the U/E will return back to the NAIRU.

Go read ur econ text books if you don't get this. A is WRONG.

 

[runnable]

Read up on this. If you use this.


Tim Dixon's book (i just realised its him)

Pg 174 middle of page, Read up on rising participation rates

then

pg 171, on NAIRU.

Sry philips curve is not part of that question whatsoever. It was obviously testing NAIRU and hidden unemployment.

the phillips curve shows the trade-off b/w inflation and unemployment. It is relevant.

I made my own answer:
e) no effect on unemployment and an increase in prices

 

[runnable]

Prices increase because the economy has reached its productive capacity (NAIRU). But hidden unemployed comes out to play due to good economic prospects.
