2. The theory of liquidity preference and the downward-slopingaggregate demand curve Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves. Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level increases from 90 to 105. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of an increase in the overall price level on the market for money.

As a result, individuals will attempt to bonds and other interest-bearing assets, and bond issuers will realize that they restored in the money market at an interest rate of % than the quantity of money their money…

Determine whether each of the following would cause a shift of the aggregate demand curve, a shift of the aggregate supply curve, neither, or both. Which curve shifts, and which direction? What happens to aggregate output and the price level in each case? a. The price level changes. b. Consumer confidence declines. c. The supply of resources increases. d. The wage rate increases.

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)
The following graph represents the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) based on an expected price level of 120. The economy's full- employment output level is $9 trillion. Major unions across the country have recently negotiated three-year wage contracts with employers. The wage contracts are based on an expected price level of 120, but the actual price level turns out to be 160. Show the short-run effect of the unexpectedly high price level by dragging the curve or moving the point to the appropriate position.

"Fracking" is a relatively new technology that allows drillers to extract significantly larger quantities of natural gas from existing deposits than was previously possible. How is this discovery likely to affect the economy? (Hint: Think about whether this will have a short-run or long-run effect.) This discovery will likely: O increase both SRAS and LRAS, leading to a long-term increase in output and decrease in prices. O increase AD but decrease both SRAS and LRAS, leading to an uncertain change in long- term output and a decrease in prices. decrease both SRAS and LRAS, leading to a long-term decrease in output and increase in prices. O increase AD, SRAS, and LRAS, leading to a long-term increase in output and an uncertain change in prices.

Assume that the accompanying graph depicts aggregate supply and demand conditions in an economy. Full employment occurs when $5 trillion of real output is produced.

What is the equilibrium rate of output? $ trillion per year b. How far short of full employment is the equilibrium rate of output? $ trillion c. On the graph, illustrate a shift of aggregate demand that would change the equilibrium rate of output to $5 trillion. Instructions: Shift the aggregate demand curve (AD1) such that the equilibrium in the macro model is at $5 trillion. Then use the tool provided 'EQ' to label the new equilibrium. d. What is the price level at this full-employment equilibrium?
