A shock to aggregate supply will have different outcomes when there are different assumptions about the formation of the level of expected inflation. One path assumes that the level of expected inflation equals lagged inflation. The level of expected inflation changes over time. The second path assumes the level of expected inflation is anchored to a specific value and never changes. Begin in medium-run equilibrium where actual and expected inflation equal 2% in period t. Suppose the economy is at initial equilibrium at point A, as shown in the graph on the right, and there is a permanent increase in the price of oil in period t +1. How does the Phillips curve shift? 1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw a new Phillips curve that reflects the permanent increase in oil prices. Label your line appropriately. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate where the short-run equilibrium would be as a result of the increase in oil prices. Label your point "A". 3.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate where the new potential output is located. Label your point "Yn".

Based on research conducted by the Department of Economic Analysis, the government and policy advisors of an economy believe that the full employment GDP is $7500 billion, and Pe, the overall expected price level is 118. In addition, the researchers estimate that the short run aggregate supply equation is Y = Ypot + 80 (P- Pe), where Ypot is the potential level of output. In 2016, the population was 400 million, and the structure of the economy was described by the following equations for household consumption behavior and taxes received: C = 100+ 0.8DI, and T = 0.25Y where all monetary values are in billions of dollars. Government spending was fixed at $1700 billion, and firm's investment behavior was fixed at $800 billion. Trading is allowed in this economy and in 2016, trading occurred such that the trade account was balanced. That is, net exports (X-IM) was equal to zero. Question 17 of 20) Now consider that in in the following year (2017), the government decided to implement a…
"The oil price run - up of 2007 - 08 was caused by strong demand confronting stagnating world production. Although the causes were different, the consequences for the economy appear to have been very similar to those observed in earlier episodes, with significant effects om overall consumption spending and purchases of domestic automobiles in particular. The experience of 2007 - 08 should thus be added to this list of recessions to which oil prices appear to have made a material contribution". Oil price shocks have an evident impact on the short run aggregate supply curve. With the help of a graph demonstrate how rising oil prices affect the SRAS and explain what other factors can cause this shift.
Refer to the diagram. The initial aggregate demand curve is AD1 and the initial aggregate supply curve is AS1. In the long run, the aggregate supply curve is vertical in the diagram because: A) nominal wages and other input prices are assumed to be fixed. B) real output level Qf is the potential level of output. C) price level increases produce perfectly offsetting changes in nominal wages and other input prices. D) higher than expected rates of actual inflation reduce real output only temporarily.
Suppose we have a market with upward sloping supply and downward sloping demand curves. After which of the following shocks can we guarantee that equilibrium price will increase? A shock which simultaneously shifts the supply curve downwards and the demand curve upwards. A shock which shifts the demand curve downwards. A shock which simultaneously shifts the supply curve downwards and the demand curve downwards. A shock which shifts the supply curve upwards. More than one of the above.
If the economy starts at point C and experiences an adverse supply shock, then the LONG-run consequence of that shock will move the economy from a to D to A b. C to D to C c. to B to A d. none of the above
Answer Question A and B
In a certain economy, the Dynamic Aggregate Supply (DAS) line is represented by the function = - π₁ = Ę ₁ = ₁ π + α ( Y₁ − Ÿ) + D and the inflation expectations formation mechanism is adaptive, that is, E₁+1 Absent a supply shock (v₁ = 0), in a figure representing period t inflation rate, π, on the vertical axis, and period t output, Y₁, on the horizontal axis, the period t DAS line will pass through the pair of points, : OA. (-1) B. (α, Y) ○ C. (Y) D. (πt, Yt)
An increase in aggregate demand in the short-run means A) both the real GDP and rises in the price level would become greater B) both the real GDP and the price level would decrease C) the real GDP would decrease and the price level would rise D) the real GDP would increase and rises in the price level would become smaller
Which of the following would properly be classified as an unfavorable supply shock? a)The interest rate decreases, spurring investment spending. b)The government introduces a set of market reforms that strengthens property rights and makes it easier and safer for buyers and sellers to write contracts. c)The world price of oil increases rapidly without warning and is expected to remain at the new high level for many years, making it more expensive for all firms to produce goods and services. d)There is a technological improvement that allows firms to reduce their costs of production permanently. e)There is an increase in government spending.
true or false Suppose that the central bank lost credibility in the sense that people no longer believe its inflation target (that is, inflation expectations are not `anchored’). In this case, both short-run output and long-run output do not increase in response to a permanently higher inflation target.
Consider if in a given economy, the parliament approves an increase in minimum wage. Starting from the medium run equilibrium, when economy is at full employment to discuss the effects of this shock. a)- Using a set of WS/PS curves, and only in labor market, in step by step way, explain the impacts. b)- Using the aggregate supply and demand (AS/AD), and IS/LM curves, show the short and medium run equilibrium points. [No explanation, only neat and well-marked graphs are acceptable]
Researchers in an oil producing country discover a cost effective method using existing levels of capital and labour to extract large amounts of petroleum resources that were previously inaccessible. All else equal, which of the following will most likely occur. Select one: The long run aggregate supply curve will shift to the left The long run aggregate supply curve will shift to the right The aggregate demand curve will shift to the left The aggregate demand curve will shift to the right
