Q and W/P, nor does it affect the relations between y• and /d and W/P. Q and W/P are still consistent with general market clearing. Q must return to its original T in increasing n involves the assumption that the representative household anticipates that T will be constant over time at its current level. 1 as dil = - Nd-r. Alternatively, if the representative household regarded the reduction in T to be transitory, only a momentary aberration, the reduction in T, per se, would not affect n. 1 1 ), and would thereby balance the increase in m•/P without any change in n or W/P.

Asymptotically, the path approaches the point of intersection, at which n and W/P are again equal to n• and (W/P)*, with P and W having risen equipro­ portionately. Note that, had we assumed the dashed line to be upward sloping, W would have initially risen proportionately faster than P, so that W/P would have initially risen and then fallen back to ( W/P)*. 3, n will continually tend to increase as long as m• is positive. In that case, the posted values of W and P will be chasing continually moving targets and never actually reach (W/P)* and P*.

The solid arrow depicts the implied time path for the actual values of n and W/P. Starting at point 0, since I" exceeds /• and c" + g" exceeds y, P and W are both increasing. Moreover, as we have assumed the dashed line to be downward sloping, P is initially rising proportionately faster than W so that W/P is falling. The increase in P reduces the real value of Money, employment and inflation 36 the money stock and thereby reduces n. 16 The reduction in n stimulates /• and depresses ctt, thereby tending to reduce the excess demand in both markets and to slow the rates of increase of both P and W.
