Integrated Framework for Analyzing Inflation
A comprehensive analysis of inflation dynamics, such as the Phillips curve and the wage-price spiral, is achieved by synthesizing three core economic models. This integrated framework combines the supply-side Wage-Setting/Price-Setting (WS-PS) model, which explains the underlying conflicts in the economy, with the multiplier model of aggregate demand and a model of how inflation expectations are formed. This approach provides a more profound understanding than the common shorthand terms 'demand pull' and 'cost push'.

Analyzing an Inflationary Spiral
An economy is initially at its medium-run equilibrium. A sustained increase in aggregate demand pushes the unemployment rate below its natural level. According to the wage-setting and price-setting framework, arrange the following events in the correct causal sequence that describes the resulting upward pressure on the price level.
Critiquing Theories of Inflation
An economy is described by a wage-setting (WS) and price-setting (PS) framework and is initially in a medium-run equilibrium with stable prices. Suddenly, firms' market power increases significantly due to a wave of mergers, allowing them to charge a higher markup over their costs. According to the WS-PS model, what is the direct outcome of this change that initiates an inflationary process?
According to the wage-setting/price-setting framework, a permanent increase in workers' bargaining power, such as stronger union protections, will cause a one-time adjustment to a higher price level, after which the economy returns to a stable price equilibrium without ongoing inflation.
Explaining the Wage-Price Spiral
Match each economic event to its most direct consequence within the wage-setting/price-setting framework, as it relates to the initiation of inflationary pressure.
According to the wage-setting/price-setting model, the fundamental reason firms raise prices in an inflationary environment is to protect their ____ in the face of rising labor costs.
Policy Impact on Inflationary Pressures
Within the wage-setting (WS) and price-setting (PS) framework, an economy is initially in a medium-run equilibrium with stable prices. Which of the following scenarios is most likely to trigger a sustained, ongoing inflationary process, rather than a one-time adjustment to a new, higher price level?

Role of Inflation Expectations in Determining Inflation Persistence
Analyzing an Inflationary Shock
An economy is in a medium-run equilibrium with stable inflation. A large, unexpected increase in investment spending occurs, boosting aggregate demand. According to a comprehensive framework that links aggregate demand, supply-side conflicts over wages and prices, and inflation expectations, what is the most direct mechanism that initiates a rise in inflation?
An economy is initially at its medium-run equilibrium with stable prices. A government spending program then causes a positive shock to aggregate demand. According to the integrated framework that combines aggregate demand, the wage-setting/price-setting model, and inflation expectations, arrange the following events in the correct chronological order to trace the initial impact on the inflation rate.
