Deconstructing Inflationary Pressures
Imagine an economy where labor unions successfully negotiate a significant increase in nominal wages for their members, exceeding productivity growth. Simultaneously, due to supply chain disruptions, the cost of essential imported components for manufacturing rises sharply. Analyze how these two events, representing the claims of workers and foreign suppliers, create a conflict over the economy's output. Discuss the likely response of firms in this situation and explain how this response translates into a rising general price level.

Analyzing Inflationary Pressures
Consider an economy where the total value of output per worker is distributed among workers' wages, firms' profits, and the cost of imported inputs. If a sudden, sharp increase in the global price of essential imported materials occurs, while both workers' nominal wage demands and firms' target profit margins remain constant, what is the most likely immediate consequence?
