i reckon u do need to know the natural rate because u will need it to assess how well the government is in the area of unempoyment. And the trend of decreasing natural is quiet important to mention, relating to mirco-reforms and stuffs like that.

i agree with jimmik. you'll hardly need to use it in essays

 

[jimmik]

well u could learn the rate if u wanted to but i think it's just the concept you need to get a grasp of, so have the general idea of where the government is in terms of reaching that rate but not specifying what that rate is exactly cuz there's no accurate measure for it. does that make sense?

possibly gini coefficient, some industry productivity and HDI. HDI especially if doing case study on a developing nation such as China.
