If aggregate supply is vertical, what role does aggregate demand play in determining output? In determining the price level?
6. Why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen. For example, the sticky-price theory asserts that the output prices of some goods and services adjust slowly to changes in the price level. Suppose firms announce the prices for their products in advance, based on an expected price level of 100 for the coming year. Many of the firms sell their goods through catalogs and face high costs of reprinting if they change prices. The actual price level turns out to be 90. Faced with high menu costs, the firms that rely on catalog sales choose not to adjust their prices. Sales from catalogs will v , and firms that rely on catalogs will respond by v the quantity of output they supply. If enough firms face high costs of adjusting prices, the unexpected…

ans ences rations If in Year 1 the price level was 100 and real GDP was $20 trillion and in Year 2 the price level was 105 and real GDP was $21 billion, then the predominant change that occured in Year 2 was OA a decrease in aggregate demand. B. an increase (shift to the right) in short-run aggregate supply. OC. a decrease (shift to the left) in short-run aggregate supply OD. an increase in aggregate demand.

2. Why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural rate of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen. For example, the sticky price theory asserts that output prices of some goods and services adjust slowly to changes in the price level. Suppose that firms announce the prices for their products in advance, based on an expected price level of 100 for the coming year. Additionally, assume that many of the firms sell their goods through catalogues and face high costs of reprinting if they change prices. Now suppose that the actual price level turns out to be 110 (that is, prices in the economy are higher than expected). Faced with high menu costs, the firms that rely on catalogue sales choose not to adjust their prices. Sales from catalogues will , and firms that rely on catalogues will respond by…

6. Why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen. For example, the sticky-wage theory asserts that output prices adjust more quickly to changes in the price level than wages do, in part because of long-term wage contracts. Suppose a firm signs a contract agreeing to pay its workers $15 per hour for the next year, based on an expected price level of 100. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, the firm's output prices will , and the wages the firm pays its workers will remain fixed at the contracted level. The firm will respond to the unexpected decrease in the price level by v the quantity of output it supplies. If many firms face similarly rigid wage contracts, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output…
11. Using aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long-run aggregate supply curves, explain the proc- ess by which each of the following economic events will move the economy from one long-run macroeconomic equilibrium to another. Illustrate with diagrams. In each case, what are the short-run and long-run effects on the aggregate price level and aggregate output? a. There is a decrease in households' wealth due to a decline in the stock market. b. The government lowers taxes, leaving households with more disposable income, with no correspond- ing reduction in government purchases.
