Question:
Starting in March 2020, there was a negative aggregate demand shock (lockdowns prevented people from buying their usual goods and services) as well as a negative supply shock (production of some essential goods was halted due to COVID outbreaks – or they became more expensive to produce due to supply-chain issues).
Using the IS-MP & Phillips Curve (PC) framework and Okun's Law (OL), which curves shifted in this scenario and how did these shifts affect the output gap, unexpected inflation and unemployment? Explain in words and be sure to use the data on inflation in the plot below to deduce whether the demand or supply shock was larger.
