Answer to Question 1

In the short run, there is first a downward movement along the short-run Phillips curve as the inflation rate falls and the unemployment rate increases. In the long run, however, the expected inflation rate falls and the short-run Phillips curve shifts downward. Therefore in the long run the inflation rate remains low and the unemployment rate returns to the natural unemployment rate.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
