3.1 Suppose these probabilities were generated in response to the sentence “Where are you?”. What would CPP0 say if and what is the probability of this response?

Question 4 Assume the economy is originally in steady state, but then, there is a positive inflation shock that lasts two periods. This might occur, for example, when real wages have increased relative to their trend for two periods. (In our model notation, this is to say

Question 1 Suppose that 10 years ago, a country had a trend job-separation rate of 3% and a trend job-finding rate of 9%. Now, the country’s trend job separation rate is 2% and the trend job-finding rate of 8%. (Throughout this question, assume there is no labor-force growth.) What is the current natural rate of unemployment? Did it increase or decrease relative to 10 years ago? Additionally, provide intuition for why the natural rate changed this way.   10 years ago, this country instituted more generous unemployment insurance benefits, providing more funds to individuals who become unemployed as they search for new jobs. Some politicians in this country have argued that changes in the unemployment rate over the last 10 years are largely attributable to this program. Using what you know about the job-finding and job-separation rates in this country, agree or disagree with these politicians and explain your reasoning.   If the current unemployment rate is above the natural rate of unemployment in this country, is current output above, below, or equal to potential output according to Okun’s law?
