Answer to Question 2

The Phillips curve shows a trade-off between unemployment and inflation. With the unemployment rate on the horizontal axis and inflation on the vertical, the Phillips curve is pictured as a downward sloping curve. If the curve is a suitable representation of the economy, in the short run policy makers can choose the combination of inflation and unemployment that they want.
