Define the inflation-unemployment tradeoff and explain its theoretical underpinnings, including the relationship described by the Phillips curve.
Explore the historical context of the inflation-unemployment tradeoff, particularly focusing on significant periods such as the stagflation of the 1970s and subsequent developments in economic theory.
Evaluate the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies in managing the inflation-unemployment tradeoff, considering both short-term stabilization goals and long-term economic growth objectives.
Analyze empirical evidence and case studies to illustrate instances where policymakers have successfully navigated the inflation-unemployment tradeoff, as well as situations where policy decisions have led to adverse outcomes.
Discuss the role of expectations, adaptive versus rational, in shaping the dynamics of the inflation-unemployment tradeoff, and how policymakers incorporate these expectations into their decision-making processes.
Assess contemporary challenges and debates surrounding the inflation-unemployment tradeoff, such as the impact of globalization, technological advancements, and demographic shifts on its dynamics, and propose potential strategies for addressing these challenges in the future.
