The short run aggregate supply curve was constructed assuming that as the price of outputs increases, the puce of inputs stays the same. How would an increase in the prices of important inputs, like energy, affect aggregate supply?
Without looking at Table 19.7, return to Figure 19.10. If we define a recession as a significant decline in national output, can you identify any post-1960 recessions in addition to the 20082009 recession? (This requires a judgment call.)
Suppose concerns about the size of the federal budget deficit lead the U.S. Congress to cut all funding for research and development for ten years. Assuming this has an impact on technology growth, what does the AD/AS model predict would be the likely effect on equilibrium GDP and the price level?
Suppose Mexico, one of our largest trading partners and purchaser of a large quantity of our exports, goes into a recession. Use the AD/AS model to determine the likely impact on our equilibrium GDP and price level.
How would a dramatic increase in the value of the stock market shift the AD curve? What effect would the shift have on the equilibrium level of GDP and the price level?
Use Table 26.3 to answer the following questions. Sketch an aggregate supply and aggregate demand diagram. What is the equilibrium output and price level? If aggregate demand shifts right, what is equilibrium output? If aggregate demand shifts left, what is equilibrium output? In this scenario, would you suggest using aggregate demand to alter the level of output or to control any inflationary increases in the price level?
