The Phillips curve illustrates the relationship between:Question 27Answera.Unemployment and inflationb.Aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS)c.Interest rates and investmentd.Income and consumption

If the unemployment rate in the economy is steady at 4 percent per year, how does the short-run Phillips curve predict that the inflation rate will be changing, if at all?    What will happen if the unemployment rate now rises to 7 percent per year? Assume there are no changes to inflation expectations. Provide an appropriate graph to support your discussion. Your discussion should be at least 500 words in length, but not more than 700 words.
