Suppose that firms become very pessimistic about future business conditions and cut heavily on investment in capital equipment. [Label A, B, C for the initial, new short-run and new long-run equilibrium respectively] a)Use an aggregate-demand/aggregate-supply model to show the short-run effect of this pessimism on the economy. Label the new levels of prices and real output. Explain in words why the aggregate quantity of output supplied changes. (Use the sticky wage theory in your explanation)
Suppose the economy is in a situation of moderate unemployment, and then an exogenous increase of aggregate demand occurs. (Assume the aggregate demand schedule follows the pattern set out by the mainstream story.) Use short run aggregate supply and aggregate demand analysis to discuss in detail the effects of this demand change on the price level and real GDP in the short run. Explain how the situation could change in the long run after the happenings in the first part.
Price Level a b c AS AD AD₁ Real GDP Refer to the figure above. If the aggregate supply curve shifted from ASo to AS₁, we could say that: aggregate supply has increased, and the equilibrium price level has risen to Og aggregate supply has decreased, equilibrium real output has increased, and the equilibrium price level has decreased aggregate supply has decreased, equilibrium real output has decreased, and the equilibrium price level has increased aggregate supply has increased, equilibrium real output has decreased, and the equilibrium price level has increased an increase in the amount of real output supplied has occurred
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:
Suppose that the full employment level of nominal GDP rises in one year from $16.8 to $18.0 trillion. The long-run equilibrium price level, however, remains unchanged at 120. By how much (in real dollars) has the long-run aggregate supply curve shifted to the right from one year to the next? $ trillion. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
In 2013, Prussia's aggregate demand curve was determined by the equation M + 0 = 4%. A change in aggregate demand means that in 2014, Prussia's aggregate demand curve was determined by the equation M + U = 7%. Using this information, draw Prussia's old and new dynamic aggregate demand curves on the graph.

Is there a connection between the concepts of Long Run Aggregate Supply and the Natural Rate of Unemployment? Describe precisely how you think an economy would move towards long run equilibrium over time.
If the government increases its expenditure on goods and services and as a result, the money wage rate increases, the economy has experienced _______.
Blank 1 answer choices: no change, an increase, a decrease Blank 2 answer choices: no change in level output, more output, less output
QUESTION 9 The graph below reflects a significant increase in world oil prices. What will the impact on aggregate supply most likely lead to? Price Level P₂ P₁ Y2 Yi AS' AS AD Real National Income a. an increase in economic growth b. an increase in input prices c. a decrease in the natural unemployment rate d. less inflationary pressures
“Members of Congress are interested in increasing the minimum wage from its current rate of $7.25 an hour to $15. What effect will this have on the unemployment rate for low-skilled workers? How is this likely to impact equilibrium output and the price level in the short run?"
Suppose firms become very pessimistic about future business conditions and significantly reduce investment spending. Show the short-run effect of this pessimism on the aggregate-demand curve.
