Answer to Question 1

In both the short run and medium run, TP will cause a reduction in output (assuming, of course, that any change in AD, if it occurs, is offset by the shift in the AS curve). What happens to employment in the medium? Given that Y will fall by the full change in TP in the medium, we know that N and u will not be affected in the medium run. In the short run, N will fall and u will rise if the percentage change in Y is less than the percentage change in TP.
