The document discusses the Phillips Curve and the relationship between inflation and unemployment. It notes that in the short-run, there is an inverse relationship where lower unemployment is associated with higher inflation and vice versa. However, in the long-run there is no consistent tradeoff because aggregate supply shocks can cause both inflation and unemployment to rise simultaneously. While adverse shocks can shift the Phillips Curve outward in the short-run, in the long-run the curve will always be vertical as the economy adjusts through factors like declining wages and input prices.
In Macroeconomics Income and Employment are interchangeable terms, since in the short-run National income depends on the total volume of employment or economic activity in the country. As income and employment are synonymous the employment theory is also called income theory.
It should be clear to readers that the classical economists did not formulate any specific theory of employment as such. They only laid down certain postulates which subsequently developed as a theory.

Inflation
Up, Up and Maybe Away
Inflation is an ongoing process in which there is a broad increase in the price level and money is losing its purchasing value. Changes in the money supply cause changes in the price level. Changes in the price level can be one-time or a persistent rise in the rate at which the price level increases.
Demand-Pull Inflation
A one-time demand induced price increase comes from a outward shift in aggregate demand, such as an increase in the money supply or a component of GDP—C, I, G or NX.
The one-time demand induced increase will lead to an increase in aggregate demand and the economy will be in an inflationary gap—the price level will be higher, real GDP will be higher than Qn and unemployment will be lower than Un. Since the economy is self-regulating, the shortage in the labor market with U < Un will lead to wages being bid up. Higher wages lead to increased costs to producers, which in turn leads to a decrease in SRAS back to Qn. Basically, a demand-induced change leads the self-regulating economy back the full employment level of real GDP, at a higherpricelevel.
Demand-pull inflation rises from continual outward shifts in aggregate demand which are caused by continuous increases in the money supply.
Continual increases in the money supply will lead to continual increases in aggregate demand and the economy will be in repeated inflationary gaps—in repeated cycles, the price level will be higher, real GDP will be higher than Qn and unemployment will be lower than Un. Since the economy is self-regulating, the shortage in the labor market with U < Un will lead to wages being bid up. Higher wages lead to increased costs to producers, which in turn leads to a decrease in SRAS back to Qn. Basically, continuous increases in the money supply leads the self-regulating economy back the full employment le ...

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
1. The Phillips Curve: Unemployment / Inflation relationship
Generalizations
1. There is a short-run tradeoff between the rate of inflation and the rate of
unemployment.
2. Aggregate Supply shocks cause both the rate of inflation and rate of
unemployment to increase.
3. There is no significant tradeoff between the rate of inflation and rate of
unemployment in the long-run; therefore, in the LR, Phillips Curve is always
vertical.
The Phillips Curve
Demonstrates the inverse relationship between unemployment rates and
inflation rates
Assuming a constant short-run AS curve:
o Inflation rate ↑ → Unepmloyment ↓ (when AD increases, there is a
upward pressure on prices and UE therefore decreases)
o Inflation rate ↓ → Unemployment ↑ (when AD decreases, there is a
downward pressure on prices and UE therefore increases)
o Thus, the relationship is inverse as shown by the graph below:
2. Aggregate Supply Shocks and the Phillips Curve:
Stagflation: when inflation and unemployment rise simultaneously,
resulting in an increase in input cost (The Phillips Curve shifts outward)
Adverse Aggregate Supply Shocks: Sudden large increases in
resource costs (known as supply shock) push short-run aggregate supply
(the PC curve)leftward (such as OPEC in the '70s and '80s)
o These shocks distort the usual inflation-unemployment relationship:
a leftward shift of the short-run aggregate supply pc curve
increases price level and increases the unemployment rate (cost-
push inflation)
Stagflation'sDemise:
o However, in the long term:
Due to great unemployment, workers accept lower wages, and
firms' costs decrease
Foreign competition also holds down wages and price hikes
Input prices is a determinant of AS, therefore when input prices
(wages) decrease, AS will shift to the right
OPEC etc. loses monopolypower
A component of laissez-faire economics is the theory that the
economy will self-correct. However, the economy will suffer
great unemployment in the process.
When AD shifts to the right, inflation occurs and real output
increases, thus, it shifts left ALONG the Phillips curve. (increase in
inflation but decrease in UE rate) However, when AS shifts to the
left due to decrease in productivity, and increase is input prices, the
Phillips curve shift rightwards restoring to the natural rate of
unemployment. Thus, the Phillips curve'slongrunisalways vertical.
