Suppose that, in an attempt to combat severe unemployment, the government decides to increase the amount of money in circulation
ELEN [110]

Answer:

increases

higher

more

lower

lower

Explanation:

If the money supply is increased. individuals would have more money and consumption would increase. Increase in consumption would lead to a rise in demand.

when demand exceeds supply, prices rise,

When there is a rise in price, it encourages producers to increase production in order to increase their profit margin.

In order to expand production, more factors of production would be needed. So, more labour would be hired. thus, unemployment would fall.

it can be seen that higher inflation lowers unemployment
