Suppose that it costs $15 to produce a low-quality wallet and $16 to produce a high-quality wallet, consumers cannot distinguish between the products before purchase, there are no repeat purchases, and consumers value the wallets at their cost of production. The twenty firms in the market produce 500 wallets each. Each firm produces only high-quality or low-quality wallets. Consumers pay the expected value of a wallet. Do any of the firms produce high-quality wallets? A firm will not have an incentive to produce high-quality wallets: If one firm makes a high-quality wallet, then each firm that produces low-quality wallets will earn a profit of $ and the firm that makes the high-quality wallets will earn S.

(True, False) Stagflation happens when the economy is experiencing a bust and deflation. Stagflation occurs when the (AD, SR-AS) curve shifts to the (right, left). In the short-run, this shift would cause the overall price level to (increase, decrease) and output to (increase, decrease). Workers may see the short-run effect on the overall price level and negotiate for (higher, lower) wages, resulting in a price-wage spiral. Given that 1) output has (increased, declined) in the short-run, there is a (negative, positive, zero) output gap and that there is a (negative, positive, zero) cyclical unemployment, workers will eventually (accept, fight for) (higher, lower) wages. When this happens, the (AD, SR-AS, LR-AS) curve will shift to the |(right, left), reaching the long-run equilibrium.
