Upward Shift of the Phillips Curve from Increased Expected Inflation
When workers and firms anticipate higher inflation, they incorporate these expectations into their wage and price-setting behavior. This adjustment causes the entire Phillips curve to shift upward, establishing a new, less favorable trade-off where any given level of unemployment corresponds to a higher rate of inflation.

The Case of Accelerating Inflation in Veridia
A country's central bank successfully maintains an unemployment rate below what is considered its long-run sustainable level for several consecutive years. In the first year, inflation rises from 2% to 4%. Based on the principle that people's expectations of future price increases influence their economic behavior, what is the most likely trend for the inflation rate in the subsequent years if this policy continues?
A government implements a policy that keeps the unemployment rate consistently below the level that the economy can sustain in the long run. According to the theory of accelerating inflation, arrange the following events in the logical sequence that would occur over time.

Impact of Changing Expectations on Economic Outcomes
An economy has experienced a stable 2% inflation rate for several years. The central bank then makes a highly credible announcement that it will now target a 4% inflation rate. Once workers and firms fully incorporate this new expectation into their wage and price-setting decisions, what is the most likely outcome for the short-run relationship between inflation and unemployment?
