An economy is in a stable equilibrium with a constant, positive rate of inflation. Match each economic shock described below with its most direct, immediate consequence that initiates a rise in inflation.
In an economy at its inflation-stabilizing rate of unemployment, a positive aggregate demand shock that pushes unemployment below the equilibrium level will initially lead to an increase in the bargaining power of ______, triggering a rise in inflation.
