4.1 Why does the short-run aggregate supply curve slope upward? 4.2 Explain why the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical. Then, (verbally and graphically) explain how each of the following events would affect the long-run aggregate supply curve. a. A lower price levels b. A decrease in the labor force c. A decrease in the quantity of capital goods d. Technological change
31) Use the dynamic model of aggregate demand and supply to illustrate a situation where aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply are both increasing from year 1 to year 2, resulting in a higher price level and higher level of real GDP at macroeconomic equilibrium in year 2. 32) Hurricane Katrina resulted in a decline in oil production infrastructure along the gulf coast. As a result there was an unexpected decline in oil and natural gas supplies in 2005. Suppose that this caused an increase in the price level and a decline in real GDP in 2006. Also assume that potential real GDP continued to grow due to other factors. You can assume the aggregate demand curve did not change. Show the macroeconomic equilibrium for 2005 and 2006 using the dynamic aggregate supply and aggregate demand model. 1
a. Beginning with long-run equilibrium, use the aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) model to explain (and illustrate) what happens in the short run when the economy suffers a negative supply shock. Be sure to detail what happens to aggregate demand, aggregate supply, the price level, the level of GDP, and unemployment.
Please refer to the following graph representing a hypothetical macro economy. Assume that the Aggregate Demand curve has recently changed from AD1 to AD2. During that change, which phase of the business cycle was this economy in? Price Level O Expansion O Recession O Recovery O Inflation LRAS AD2 SRAS AD1 Real GDP
es/118790/quizzes/952344/take OS D SU My ASU ASU CANVAS Question 2 Which of the following would cause a shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve, but no change in the long-run aggregate supply curve? O an increase in the size of the labor force an increase in the wage rate an increase in the quantity of capital O all of the above would shiftboththe long-run aggregate supply curve and the short-run aggregate supply curve. Question 3 Which of the following would NOT lead to a shift in the long- run aggregate supply curve? O An increase in the money supply. 1
Assume that the economy is initially in equilibrium at potential GDP. Then suppose that the economy is hit simultaneously with a positive aggregate demand shock and a negative aggregate supply shock: There is a large increase in U.S. exports to Europe and a large increase in oil prices. A: Use an AD–AS graph to illustrate the initial equilibrium and the short-run equilibrium after the shocks. Do we know with certainty whether in the new equilibrium the output level will be higher or lower than potential GDP? B: Suppose that the Fed decides not to intervene with monetary policy. Show how the economy will adjust back to long-run equilibrium. C: Now suppose that the Fed decides to intervene with monetary policy. If the Fed’s policy is successful, show how the economy adjusts back to long-run equilibrium.
Shown on the right is an aggregate demand-aggregate supply graph of an economy initially in a long-run equilibrium at point A. Now suppose the economy experiences a negative aggregate supply shock. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the new aggregate supply curve and label it as 'SRAS2'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the new short-run equilibrium point and label it as 'B'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the new long-run equilibrium point and label it as 'C'. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. Price Level P₁ ما LRAS A AD₁ SRAS. Real GDP
Decide if the following events are Micro, shifting supply or demand, or Macro, shifting AD or AS. Give the direction in which the graph shifts. Aggregate Demand Supply Demand Situation Aggregate Supply Sales of Atlanta Braves gear grows with the success of the team. 1. The President and Congress pass a trillion dollar stimulus bill to provide aid during recession. 2. 3. Salmonella outbreak in peanut processing plants threatens lunches for school children. Pomegranates are shown to be cancer fighting superfoods. 4. Value of U.S. dollars declines, exports increase. 5. 6. Global oil prices tank as shale fracking surges. Housing market crashes. Federal 7. Reserve slashes interest rates. 8. House votes to block EPA regulations on coal fired electricity plants.
Question 29 Which of the following factors will not shift the long-run aggregate supply curve? O An increase in capital accumulation. An increase in available resources. An increase in the price level. An improvement in production technology.
