Economic Policy Scenario: The Republic of Cascadia
You are an economic advisor presented with a new report summarizing the experiences of several other developed countries during the late 1960s. This report shows a consistent pattern: countries that held unemployment below their long-run sustainable levels did not see inflation stabilize at a new, higher rate. Based on this international evidence, what would you advise the Finance Minister is the most likely outcome for Cascadia's inflation rate if the current low-unemployment policy is continued? Explain your reasoning.

An economist in 1970 is examining a developed country that has successfully used government policy to keep its unemployment rate consistently below what is considered its sustainable long-run level for the past few years. Based on the widespread international economic data that emerged during the late 1960s, what would this economist most likely predict about the country's inflation rate in the coming years if these policies are maintained?
The widespread international economic data that emerged in the late 1960s confirmed that a government could permanently lower its country's unemployment rate below its long-run sustainable level, provided it was willing to accept a new, stable, and higher rate of inflation.
