Economics is the social science that studies the production distribution, and consumption of goods and services. In economics inflation or price inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services over a period of time

The hypothesis states that inflation shocks cause a short term change in the behavior of firms and laborers: laborers accept jobs at lower pay if unemployed and firms are more willing to hire to take advantage of the possibility of pricing power, because of the lag between their ability to raise prices and their costs rising. Price in Economics and Business is the result of an exchange and from that trade we assign a numerical Monetary value to a good, This effect dissipates as the inflation rate becomes expected, with workers demanding higher wages and firms being less willing to hire. In Economics, the inflation rate is a measure of Inflation, the rate of increase of a Price index (for example a Consumer price index) Rational expectations is an assumption used in many contemporary macroeconomic models, and also in other areas of contemporary Economics and Game theory A wage is a compensation workers receive in exchange for their labor.
