Analyzing an Inflationary Supply Shock
Consider an economy where the general price level has been stable. Suddenly, there is a large and persistent increase in the cost of a critical imported input that nearly all firms rely on for production. Explain the chain of events, based on the interaction between firms' price-setting decisions and workers' wage-setting demands, that would lead to a sustained increase in the general price level.

Analyzing Inflationary Pressures from Market Structure Changes
Consider an economy described by the wage-setting (WS) and price-setting (PS) framework, initially experiencing a stable price level. A new government policy significantly weakens the power of labor unions in wage negotiations. Based on this framework, what is the most likely dynamic that will unfold regarding the general price level?
An economy is operating at its medium-run equilibrium with a stable price level. Suppose that workers begin to expect a higher rate of inflation and, as a result, successfully bargain for higher nominal wages. According to the wage-setting/price-setting framework, arrange the following events in the correct chronological sequence to describe the resulting inflationary process.
