© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Demand-Pull Inflation An inflation that starts because aggregate demand increases is called demand-pull inflation. Demand-pull inflation can begin with any factor that increases aggregate demand. Examples are a cut in the interest rate, an increase in the quantity of money, an increase in government expenditure, a tax cut, an increase in exports, or an increase in investment stimulated by an increase in expected future profits. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Initial Effect of an Increase in Aggregate Demand Figure 12.1(a) illustrates the start of a demand-pull inflation. Starting from full employment, an increase in aggregate demand shifts the AD curve rightward. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley The price level rises, real GDP increases, and an inflationary gap arises. The rising price level is the first step in the demand-pull inflation. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Money Wage Rate Response Figure 12.1(b) illustrates the money wage response. The money wage rate rises and the SAS curve shifts leftward. The price level rises and real GDP decreases back to potential GDP. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley A Demand-Pull Inflation Process Figure 12.2 illustrates a demand-pull inflation spiral. Aggregate demand keeps increasing and the process just described repeats indefinitely. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Although any of several factors can increase aggregate demand to start a demand-pull inflation, only an ongoing increase in the quantity of money can sustain it. Demand-pull inflation occurred in the United States during the late 1960s. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Cost-Push Inflation An inflation that starts with an increase in costs is called cost-push inflation. There are two main sources of increased costs: 1. An increase in the money wage rate 2. An increase in the money price of raw materials, such as oil Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Initial Effect of a Decrease in Aggregate Supply Figure 12.3(a) illustrates the start of cost-push inflation. A rise in the price of oil decreases short-run aggregate supply and shifts the SAS curve leftward. Real GDP decreases and the price level rises. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Aggregate Demand Response The initial increase in costs creates a one-time rise in the price level, not inflation. To create inflation, aggregate demand must increase. That is, the Fed must increase the quantity of money persistently. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Figure 12.3(b) illustrates an aggregate demand response. Suppose that the Fed stimulates aggregate demand to counter the higher unemployment rate and lower level of real GDP. Real GDP increases and the price level rises again. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley A Cost-Push Inflation Process If the oil producers raise the price of oil to try to keep its relative price higher, and the Fed responds by increasing the quantity of money, a process of cost-push inflation continues. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley The combination of a rising price level and a decreasing real GDP is called stagflation. Cost-push inflation occurred in the United States during the 1970s when the Fed responded to the OPEC oil price rise by increasing the quantity of money. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Expected Inflation Figure 12.5 illustrates an expected inflation. Aggregate demand increases, but the increase is expected, so its effect on the price level is expected. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley The money wage rate rises in line with the expected rise in the price level. The AD curve shifts rightward and the SAS curve shifts leftward so that the price level rises as expected and real GDP remains at potential GDP. Inflation Cycles

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Forecasting Inflation To expect inflation, people must forecast it. The best forecast available is one that is based on all the relevant information and is called a rational expectation. A rational expectation is not necessarily correct but it is the best available.

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Inflation and Unemployment: The Phillips Curve A Phillips curve is a curve that shows the relationship between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate. There are two time frames for Phillips curves:  The short-run Phillips curve  The long-run Phillips curve

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley The Short-Run Phillips Curve The short-run Phillips curve shows the tradeoff between the inflation rate and unemployment rate, holding constant 1. The expected inflation rate 2. The natural unemployment rate Inflation and Unemployment: The Phillips Curve

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Figure 12.6 illustrates a short-run Phillips curve (SRPC)—a downward- sloping curve. It passes through the natural unemployment rate and the expected inflation rate. Inflation and Unemployment: The Phillips Curve

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley With a given expected inflation rate and natural unemployment rate: If the inflation rate rises above the expected inflation rate, the unemployment rate decreases. If the inflation rate falls below the expected inflation rate, the unemployment rate increases. Inflation and Unemployment: The Phillips Curve

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley The Long-Run Phillips Curve The long-run Phillips curve shows the relationship between inflation and unemployment when the actual inflation rate equals the expected inflation rate. Inflation and Unemployment: The Phillips Curve

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Figure 12.7 illustrates the long-run Phillips curve (LRPC), which is vertical at the natural unemployment rate. Along LRPC, a change in the inflation rate is expected, so the unemployment rate remains at the natural unemployment rate. Inflation and Unemployment: The Phillips Curve

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley The SRPC intersects the LRPC at the expected inflation rate—10 percent a year in the figure. If expected inflation falls from 10 percent to 6 percent a year, the short-run Phillips curve shifts downward by an amount equal to the fall in the expected inflation rate. Inflation and Unemployment: The Phillips Curve

© 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley Changes in the Natural Unemployment Rate A change in the natural unemployment rate shifts both the long-run and short-run Phillips curves. Figure 12.8 illustrates. Inflation and Unemployment: The Phillips Curve
