12. Consider the following Beveridge curve of a labor market L, which is characterized by V= (12 - u)² 100 +1, where is the vacancy rate and u is the unemployment rate. Both v and u are measured in percentage. The Beveridge curve describes the labor market L per- fectly. The population and labor force participation rate remained the same over time. At the end of Year 2019, when the unemployment rate was 6%, the total number of job vacancies was 340. At the end of Year 2020, the vacancy rate was 1.16%.
