[39 points] Suppose that the Turkish economy in long-run equilibrium has aninflation rate, π, of 12% per year and a natural unemployment rate, ?bar (u), of 8%.The expectations-augmented Phillips curve is π=πe-2(u-bar (u)). Assume thatOkun’s law holds so that a 1 percentage point increase in the cyclicalunemployment rate maintained for one year reduces GDP by 2% of full-employment output.
a. Consider a two-year disinflation. In the first year π=0.06 and πe=0.1. Inthe second year π=0.06 and πe=0.06. in the first year, what is theunemployment rate? By what percentage does output fall short of full-employment output? In the second year, what is the unemployment rate? Bywhat percentage does output fall short of full-employment output? What isthe sacrifice ratio for this disinflation? [each answer for 3 points]
b. Now consider a four-year disinflation according to the following table:What is the unemployment rate in each of the four years? By what percentagedoes output fall short of full-employment output each year? What is thesacrifice ratio for this disinflation? [each answer for 2 points]

Consider the following model of immigration to the United States. Potential migrants originate in country 0 , the source country, For each individual, lifetime income if they remain in the source country (denoted by YO ) is given by the equationYO=M0 RO(S)where S measures the skill level of each person, with positive values of S indicating aboveaverage skills, negative values of S indicating below-average skills, and 5 equal to zero for the average person. Uifetime income if a person immigrates to the United States (denoted by Y1) also varies with skills, as described by the equationY1=M1 R1(S)The parameters MO, M1, RO, and R1 characterize the lifetime income distributions in the two countries. Let C represent the total costs incurred when immigrating to the United States, Including any psychic costs associated with leaving one’s home country. Assume the following:M0>M1-C>0, and ,R0>R1>0Assume that individuals seek to maximize their lifetime income.Under these circumstances, which of the following equations describes the skills of individuals who would choose to migrate to the United States?
