Demauri Simpson Professor, A Eco2013 2-6-23 Scenario 4 Which curve, aggregate demand (AD), short run aggregate supply (SRAS) or long run aggregate supply ( LRAS) would immediately shift in response to the crisis in Zed and? In which direction (left or right? Explain your rationale. In other words, why does the curve shift? The aggregate demand (AD) curve for Manulo would probably shift immediately as a result of the Zedland disaster. This is because Manulo's goods would be less in demand in Zedland, a significant trading partner, if itss economy declined. The AD curve would move to the left because of this decline in export demand since it would lower Manulo's total demand for goods and services. 2. Compare the expected movements in equilibrium GDP and price level in the short run. In other words compared to the starting point (before the shift) what happened to output and price level (increased, decreased or stayed the same) and after the shift? This leftward change in the AD curve would cause Manulo's equilibrium GDP and price level to decline in the near term.This is due to the fact that a decline in demand would result in an excess of products and services, which would force businesses to lower their prices and reduce output, which would lower GDP. 3. Compare the expected movements in equilibrium GDP and price level in the long run. In other words, compared to the starting point (before the shift) what happened to output and price level (increased, decreased or stayed the same) and after the shift? Over the time, Manulo's economy would adapt to this decline in demand. To the reaction to the decline in demand the businesses would lower their prices and wages, which would cause the short run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve to move to the right. The GDP would reach full employment again, but the price level would drop as a result. This is due to the fact that the economy eventually self-adjusts and will reach full employment at any price point. 4. The president wants you to explain how does the economy of Manulo transition from the short run equilibrium to the long run equilibrium so he can decide whether to put together an economic policy response. In other words, what is the difference between the long run and the short run and how does an economy move from one equilibrium to the other? Shortterm equilibrium gives a to long-term equilibrium when businesses and employees drop their expectations and accept lower pay and prices. This process will involve a couple of periods of unemployment and financial difficulty and this may take some time to complete. To expedite this process of adjustment and lessen the adverse effects of the decline in demand, the president would want to think about enacting economic measures. These could take the form of fiscal policies to cut taxes
and enhance government expenditure, or monetary measures to decrease interest rates and expand the money supply.
