In the labor market model where the unemployment rate is plotted on the horizontal axis and the real wage is on the vertical axis, consider an increase in productivity A. Assume workers' expectations of productivity fully adjust to actual productivity (the medium run). The increase in A causes:
Why
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. A is correct.
Once expected productivity equals actual productivity, an increase in A shifts both curves upward by the same proportion. These are the price-setting line (W/P = A/(1+m)) and the wage-setting curve (W/P = A·F(u, z)). The natural rate of unemployment is therefore unchanged.

Assume that firms adjust their productivity expectations immediately to actual productivity, whereas workers' productivity expectations adjust only with a delay. Under these conditions, an unexpected increase in productivity will lead to which outcome in the medium run?
Why
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. C is correct.
With firms updating immediately, the price-setting real wage shifts up fully to reflect higher productivity. Because workers' expectations lag, the wage-setting curve shifts up by less, causing the new equilibrium to occur at a lower natural rate of unemployment and a higher real wage.
