Answer to Question 1

The PS curve will shift up as productivity growth occurs; however, it will now shift up by a greater amount. If expectations of productivity are slow to adjust, the WS curve continues to shift up by a smaller amount (based on past increases in A ). The real wage will rise by the actual change in productivity. The unemployment rate will, however, decrease because of the smaller shift in the WS curve.

Answer to Question 2

A
