Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Economic Stagflation
#### Graph Analysis
The graph below illustrates the relationship between Price Level and Quantity of Output in an economy. It features the following curves:
1. **LRAS (Long-Run Aggregate Supply)**: A vertical line indicating the full-employment level of output, which remains constant regardless of the price level.
2. **SRAS1 (Short-Run Aggregate Supply 1)**: An upward sloping line representing the short-run aggregate supply at an initial state.
3. **SRAS2 (Short-Run Aggregate Supply 2)**: Another upward sloping line, shifted to the left of SRAS1, representing a decrease in short-run aggregate supply.
4. **AD1 (Aggregate Demand 1)**: A downward sloping line representing the initial state of aggregate demand.
5. **AD2 (Aggregate Demand 2)**: Another downward sloping line, shifted to the right of AD1, indicating an increase in aggregate demand.
##### Key Points on the Graph:
- **Y1**: The initial quantity of output at the intersection of AD1 and SRAS1.
- **Y2**: The full-employment quantity of output where LRAS intersects SRAS1 and AD2.
- **Y3**: The new quantity of output at the intersection of AD1 and SRAS2.
- **P1, P2, and P3**: Different price levels corresponding to various intersections on the graph.
#### Question for Consideration
"Starting from P2 & Y3, which joins SRAS1 & AD2, what path for the economy would be consistent with the economy experiencing stagflation?"
#### Answer Choices:
- **Movement to P3 & Y2**, through a shift in SRAS to SRAS2.
- **Movement to P1 & Y2**, through a shift in AD to AD1.
- **A rightward shift in the LRAS.**
- **Bearishness on the part of investors.**
#### Explanation of the Correct Answer:
The correct answer is **"Movement to P3 & Y2, through a shift in SRAS to SRAS2."**
**Stagflation** is characterized by stagnation in economic output coupled with inflation of prices. On the graph, this can be visualized by the movement from:
- **Point P2 & Y3 (intersection of AD2 and SRAS1)** to **Point P3 & Y2 (
