Role of Inflation Expectations in Determining Inflation Persistence
The way in which workers and firms form their expectations about future inflation is a critical factor in determining the longevity of an inflationary episode. Following an initial price shock, if expectations remain unchanged, the result may be a single, one-time increase in the inflation rate. However, if expectations adjust upwards, it can trigger a persistent wage-price spiral, where inflation continues to rise over time.

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.

Inflation Persistence Scenarios
An economy experiences a sudden, one-time increase in energy costs due to an external supply disruption, causing an initial rise in the overall price level. Which of the following outcomes is most likely if workers and firms widely believe this price shock is a temporary event and that long-term price stability will be maintained?
An economy experiences a significant, unexpected rise in the cost of imported raw materials. Arrange the following events in the most likely chronological order to illustrate how this initial price shock could develop into a period of persistent, self-sustaining inflation.
