![DIREC TIONS: please complete the practice questions on separate paper by hand.
AD/AS can show the economy at three different points:
• Negative output gap (recessionary gap)
• Full employment output (healthy economy, NRU 4-6%)
• Positive output gap (inflationary gap)
PRACTICE:
1. Draw AD/AS at full employment output: (this is when LRAS, SRAS and AD are all
happy together)
2. Draw AD/AS showing a negative output gap: (this is when output is lower than it would
be at full employment
3. Draw AD/AS showing a positive output gap: (this is when output is higher than it would
be at full employment)
4. Define stagflation
5. Draw an AD/AS graph showing stagflation.
6. If the government steps in to address a positive or negative output gap and uses fiscal
and/or monetary policy, which AD/AS curve will shift and why?
7. If the government takes no policy action to address a positive or negative output gap,
which AD/AS curve will shift and why?
8. Explain how fiscal policy can be used to correct a negative and positive output gap.
9. Explain how monetary policy can be used to correct a negative and positive output gap.
10. Draw a negative output gap on the Phillips curve.
11. Draw full employment on the Phillips curve.
12. Draw a positive output gap on the Phillips curve.
13. How can we link AD/AS to the loanable funds market?
14. How can we link AD/AS to the money market?
15. How can we link AD/AS to the FOREX market?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd287f2fc-faec-479f-b9e6-6aca5de695d2%2Fbd91b0b8-edba-4ae4-ac78-859bda249667%2Fkyvxf7o_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
