Inflation Dynamics with Adaptive Expectations
Consider an economic model where this period's inflation (πt) is determined by last period's inflation (πt-1) and the current bargaining gap (gapt), according to the formula: πt = πt-1 + gapt. If an economy experiences a persistent positive bargaining gap (i.e., gapt > 0 for multiple consecutive periods), what is the resulting trajectory of the inflation rate over time? Explain your reasoning.

An economy is experiencing a period where wage demands consistently outpace productivity gains, creating a positive 'bargaining gap' of 2%. If the inflation rate last year was 3%, and people form their expectations about future inflation based on last year's rate, what will the inflation rate be this year?
Inflation Dynamics with a Persistent Bargaining Gap
Inflation Dynamics with Adaptive Expectations
In an economy where inflation expectations are formed by looking at the previous period's inflation rate, a persistent positive bargaining gap will cause the inflation rate to stabilize at a new, higher level.
