Gce Model Questions Vol1 2022 Economics Question 2
Practice objective / multiple choice question 2 from the 2022 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Economics examination.
Using adaptive expectations with parameter \(\lambda = 0.5\), expected inflation for the current year is \(\pi^{e}_{t}= \pi_{t-1}+ \lambda(\pi_{t-1}-\pi_{t-2})\). The two previous years' inflation rates were \(\pi_{t-2}=2\%\) and \(\pi_{t-1}=4\%\). The short‑run Phillips curve is \(\pi_{t}= \pi^{e}_{t} - \beta (u_{t}-u_{n})\) with \(\beta =0.5\) and natural unemployment \(u_{n}=6\%\). If the actual inflation observed this year is \(3\%\) and nominal wages grow at \(4\%\), determine (a) the current unemployment rate and (b) the percentage change in real wages.
