7. The long-run aggregate supply curve and short-run adjustments Suppose an economy's short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS), current equilibrium aggregate price level (P₁), and real GDP (Q1) are shown on the graph that follows. The economy currently has Natural Real GDP (QN) of $6 trillion. Use this information to place the orange long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS, square symbols) in the correct position on the graph. 20 PRICE LEVEL 0 2 4 6 Q₁ REAL GDP (Trillions of dollars) 8 SRAS 10 LRAS
In order to improve the living standards of the people in Philippines after the devastating typhoon Haiyan, the government decided to increase the labour wage per hour from AUD 17.50 to AUD 25.00. Also, Philippines experienced structural unemployment and frictional unemployment. The figure below indicates that the aggregate demand curve slopes left to right downwards. 1)Explain the factors that account for the shape of the Aggregate demand curve. Graph:
The table below shows the initial aggregate demand, short-run, and long-run aggregate supply schedules - Price level Aggregate demand (billion $) Aggregate Supply (billion $) Long run Aggregate supply (billion $) 80 1600 400 800 90 1400 600 800 100 1200 800 800 110 1000 1000 800 120 800 1200 800 130 600 1400 800 140 400 1600 800 h. Is there positive or negative cyclical unemployment ? i. Do you have to Increase or decrease GDP? j. Should the country implement expansionary or contractionary policy?
question 2: In Figure 2, what are the factors that may cause the aggregate demand to shift from AD to AD1? What is the difference between demand pull inflation, cost push inflation, and recession?
4. The country of Merryville has an unemployment rate that is greater than the natural rate of unemployment. a) Using a correctly labeled graph of aggregate demand and aggregate supply, show the current equilibrium real gross domestic product, labeled YC, and price level in Merryville, labeled PLC. b) The president of Merryville is receiving advice from an economic adviser who advises the president to decrease personal income taxes. How would such a decrease in taxes affect aggregate demand? Explain. c) The government of Merryville increases spending on goods and services by $200 billion, which is financed by borrowing. If the marginal propensity to consume in Merryville is 0.75: i. Calculate the multiplier ii. What is the maximum possible change in real gross domestic product (GDP) that could result from the $200 billion increase in government spending?
1-What is the general relationship between a country's price level and the quantitiy of it's domestic output (Real GDP) demanded? Who are the buyers of real US GDP? 2- what assumptions cause the immediate -short-run aggregate supply curve to be horizontal? why is the long-run aggregate supply curve vertical? Explain the shape of the short-run aggregate supply curve . Why is the short-run curve relatively flat to the left of the full employment output and relatively steep to the right ? 3- why does a reduction in aggregate demand tend to reduce real output, rather than the price level? 4- Explain" unemployment can be caused by a decrease of aggregate demand or a decrease of aggregate supply ."In each case , specify the price level outcomes . 5- In early 2001 investment spending declined in the USA. In the 2 months follwing september , 11 2001 attacks on the US, consumption also declined . Use Ad-AS analysis to show the two impacts on Real GDP. 6- Using the concept of the multiplier ,…
Start at full-employment (FE) equilibrium with flexible wages and worker misperception of price level changes in the short run. Suppose then that we have an increase in Aggregate Demand. First, think about the short-run effects on price level (P), output level (Q), wage level (W), employment (L), and unemployment (U)? In the long run, once workers realize that there was a change in the price level, they will change the supply curve of labor. When all subsequent wage and price adjustments take place, we will be in a new long-run equilibrium. From the original full-employment (FE) equilibrium to the final one, what is the net change in the price level (P), output level (Q), the nominal wage (W), employment (L), unemployment rate (U), and the real wage (W/P)? Group of answer choices a) An increase in P, no change in Q, no change in W, an increase in L, an increase in U and no change in W/P. b) An increase in P, a decrease in Q, a decrease in W, a decrease in L, an…

Price Level LRAS I о, он ог Real GDP SRAS, SRAS SRAS₂ ON=Natural Real GDP AD Refer to Figure 9-3. If the economy is in short-run equilibrium at point C, the (actual) unemployment rate is less than the natural unemployment rate. the (actual) unemployment rate is equal to the natural unemployment rate. the (actual) unemployment rate is greater than the natural unemployment rate. the relationship between the (actual) unemployment rate and the natural unemployment rate cannot be determined from the available information.
