2. Explaining short-run economic fluctuations A majority of economists believe that in the long run, real economic variables and nominal economic variables behave independently of one another. For example, an increase in the money supply, a no long-run effect on the quantity of goods and services the economy can produce, a quantity of money will impact the price level but not the output level is known as variable, will cause the price level, a AS However, in the short run, most economists believe that real and nominal variables are intertwined. Economists use the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to examine the economy's short-run fluctuations around the long-run output level. The following graph shows an incomplete short-run aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) diagram-it needs appropriate labels for the axes and curves.

Assume that the United States is currently in a recession. a. Draw a correctly labelled graph of aggregate demand and aggregate supply showing each of the following in the United States: i. Output level ii. Price level A
12. Assume that an economy operates according to the sticky-wage model. The nominal wage was set to make labor supply and labor demand equal when the expected price level equaled 120 (as measured by the consumer price index). a. Use a graph of the labor market to illustrate what happens to the quantity of labor employed if the actual price level over the time period when wages are stuck equals 110. b. Use a graph of the production function to illustrate how the quantity of output produced changes if the actual price level equals 110 when the expected price level is 120. c. Given the unexpectedly low price level, will this economy be operating above, below, or at the natural rate?
Suppose that the money supply increases by 20 percent. If there is no inflation, what does the quantity theory of money tell us must happen to real GDP? (Assume that the velocity of money is constant.) Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a It must increase by more than 20% It must increase by less than 20% C It stays the same d. It must increase by 20%
1. In the following table, determine how each event likely effects potential output (a.k.a., long-run aggregate supply). Direction of Potential Output Shift Event Left Right No Shift The government allows more immigration of working-age adults. For environmental and safety reasons, the government requires that the country’s nuclear power plants be permanently shut down. An investment tax credit increases the rate at which firms acquire machinery and equipment. 2. In the following table, determine how each event affects the position of the aggregate demand curve. Direction of AD Curve Shift Event Left Right No Shift A decrease in consumer confidence (suggests people believe a contraction/recession coming) A decrease in individual income tax rates An increase in the value/price of housing 3. What effect would an increase in aggregate demand…

As a classical economist from Langoria, you explain that the shift in aggregate demand creates . You also explain that will be affected in the short run. You note that such a gap leads to an unemployment rate that is to ▼ As wages change, the explain that in the long run, the natural unemployment rate.

For example, an increase in the money supply, a variable, will cause the price level, a variable, to increase but will have no long-run effect on the quantity of goods and services the economy can produce, a variabl The distinction between real variables and nominal variabl is known as ▼ However, in the short run, most economists believe that re and nominal variables are intertwined.

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 , and firms that rely on catalogs v will respond by v the quantity of output they supply. If enough firms face high costs of adjusting prices, the unexpected…
If the price level rises, what happens to aggregate supply? Aggregate supply _______. A. doesn't change, but the quantity of real GDP supplied increases B. decreases C. increases D. doesn't change, but the quantity of real GDP supplied decreases
1) Assume that the real wage in an economy is held above equilibrium. a. Graphically illustrate how an increase in demand for labor will change the number of unemployed workers. Be sure to label the axes and the quantities of labor hired before and after the increase in demand. b. Explain in words what happens to the number of unemployed as a result of this change. 2) In an economy, if 5 percent of the employed lose their job every month (s = 0.05) while 15 percent of the unemployed find a job every month (f = 0.15), what is the steady rate (equilibrium rate) of unemployment of the economy?
6. Suppose political turmoil causes a significant decrease in oil production in the middle east. How will real GDP, employment, and the general price level be affected in the short run? 7. How will the event described in question 6 affect real GDP, employment, and the general price level in the long run? Explain in words and a graph.
^ v2 Explain whether the following statements are true, false, or uncertain. a) use "Inflation hurts borrowers and helps lenders, because borrowers must pay a higher rate of interest." b) If prices change in a way that leaves the overall price level unchanged, then no one is made better or worse off." Ve) faze "Inflation does not reduce the purchasing power of most workers.
