Inflation Dynamics in an Expanding Economy
In an economy, the structural rate of unemployment is 6%, and the expected rate of inflation is 2%. Due to a sudden economic boom, unemployment falls to 4%.

Assuming firms pass on the full increase in wage costs to consumers to maintain their profit margins, what will be the new actual rate of inflation?
