OUTPUT (Billions of dollars)
Suppose the government passes a law that reduces unemployment benefits in a way that causes unemployed workers to seek out new jobs
more quickly. The policy will cause the natural rate of unemployment to fall
, which will:
Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the left
Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right
Not affect the long-run aggregate supply curve
In the following table, determine how each event affects the position of the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve.
Direction of LRAS Curve Shift
The government allows more immigration of working-age adults who find work.
Left
This economy's primary source of foreign oil decides to cease exports for political
Left
reasons.
An investment tax credit increases the rate at which firms acquire machinery and
Right
equipment.
