... U = LS(W/Pe) - LD(W/P,K,Tech,RM) + U* LS(W/Pe) More generally, we can write the equation as U = PC(W/P,K,Tech,RM,Pe,U*) As P increases, W/P falls so U falls. Note: We can also posit Okun's Law for this model as 2*(U* - U) = (Y - Y*)/Y* = GDP Gap For U = U* (between 5% to 6%), Y = Y*, full employment ...
