Suppose that the Fed unexpectedly pursues contractionary monetary policy. What will happen to unemployment in the short run? What will happen to unemployment in the long run? Justify your answer using the Phillips curves.

In the short run, unemployment will rise, because, contractionary policy reduces actual inflation and so moves the economy down along the Phillips curve. In the long run, the economy will return to its natural rate of unemployment as a reduction in expected inflation shifts the short-run Philip curve left.
