Consider the economy represented by the aggregate demand aggregate supply (AD-AS) graph shown, where output is below full employment output (Y*) and unemployment is above the natural rate. To move out of a recession, the government should decrease taxes and increase government spending. increase taxes and decrease government spending. O decrease taxes and government spending. increase taxes and government spending. Adjust the graph to reflect the result of this policy action. Price level (P) Real GDP (Y) LRAS AD SRAS
All of the following will increase Aggregate Demand (AD), except: Foreign income increases Families paying off debt Higher household income The Keynesian model of economics was developed in a response the events of the great depression. For the first time, this model showed that prices and wages were _______ and that ______may decline instead of prices. Flexible; interest rates Flexible; production Sticky; production
Assume the Canadian economy is currently at equilibrium. a. Using a correctly labeled aggregate demand and supply graph, show Full employment output (yf) Current price level (PL1) b. World War III breaks out and Canada has to get involved. The Prime Minister chooses to increase the military budget by 40%. On your graph from part A, show what will happen in the economy, labeling the new equilibrium as Q2, PL2. c. Using a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market, show how the Prime Minister’s decision will affect the economy.
According to Keynes’ Law... A) The total demand for products determine the level of gross domestic product and may not equal the supply capacity of the economy in the short run. B) The total demand always equals the total supply capacity in the short run. C) The total demand tends to rise above the total supply capacity in the short run which leads to recessions D) The total supply of products determines the level of gross domestic product and the level of demand in the economy in the long run.
Which of the following would be most likely to produce a leftward shift of the aggregate demand (AD) curve? a) an increase in exports b) an increase in energy costs c) a decrease in imports d) a decrease in government expenditure
Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.8 and taxes do not vary with income (that is, taxes are fixed rather than variable and the income tax rate = 0). The following graph shows the aggregate demand curves (AD and AD₂), the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve, and the long-run aggregate supply curve at the potential GDP level. The economy is currently at point A.

If the intersection of AD and SRAS occurs at $21 trillion GDP but full employment GDP (LRAS) is at $22 trillion GDP, which of the following policy choices would help move the economy toward full employment? a) Lowering income taxes and payroll taxes for all employees. b) All of the choices would help increase AD and bring the economy closer to full employment. c) increasing the money supply to lower interest rates. d) Increases government spending on infrastructure. e) Sending out stimulus checks to everyone earning less than $100,000 per year.
Consider a closed economy, where wages are sticky in the short run. The consumption function is C = co+c₁(Y-T), where the marginal propensity to consume c₁ is equal to 0.8. Initially the economy is in equilibrium at Y = Y* and P = Pº, where Pe is the price level that was expected when agents agreed their fixed nominal wage contracts. The short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) is horizontal. Suddenly the government increases government spending G by $200. For the following questions, if you think a variable goes up by (say) $50, just enter 50 as your answer. If you think a variable goes down by $50, enter -50 as your answer. If you think a variable doesn't change at all, enter 0 as your answer. 10. By how much will output Y change in the short run? 11. By how much will consumption C change in the short run? 12. By how much will investment I change in the short run? 13. By how much will output Y change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage…
Instructions: Enter your responses as a whole number. Identify the macro equilibrium. Instructions: Use the tool provided 'QE' to identify the current macro equilibrium on the graph. The current macro equilibrium is when real GDP is $ billion. Suppose that full - employment GDP is $12 billion. The real GDP gap is $ billion. Aggregate demand must shift (left or right) by $ billion to achieve the full - employment equilibrium.Real GDP (in billions of dollars per year)
In the 1960s the U.S entered the Vietnam War, and military expenditures (part of government expenditures) grew from an annual rate of $113 billion to 138 billion. The economy was near full-employment and, therefore, given there was no offsetting tax increase, inflation pressures emerged. Assume the MPC is .75 A) How did the increase in military expenditures affect AD? B) If in 1968 the AD Excess was $150 billion, what change in government expenditures would you have recommended?
