In the long run what primarily determines the natural rate of unemployment? In the long run what primarily determines the inflation rate? How does this relate to the classical dichotomy?


In the long run the natural rate of unemployment is primarily determined by labor market factors including government policy concerning minimum wages and unemployment benefits. In the long run inflation is primarily determined by money supply growth. These determinants are consistent with the classical dichotomy which states that real and nominal variables are determined independently.
