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
