Suppose that environmental regulations require firms to reduce emissions and pollution during production. Firms then charge higher prices to cover the costs of compliance with the regulations. Suppose that new technology is used in the production of output now to reduce pollution and emissions at a much lower cost. This new technology decreases the cost of compliance with environmental regulations. a. Is the use of new technology a demand or a supply shock? Why? b. Use the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model to illustrate graphically and explain the impact in the short run and the long run of the shock. Be sure to label: i, the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. the direction the curves shift; v. the short-run equilibrium values; and vi. the long-run equilibrium values. Explain in words what happens to prices and output in the short run and the long run.

The Recovery: Utilizing the Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply framework describe what has happened during the recovery from the recession from May 2020 (Q2 2020) to the present March 2022 has happened to real GDP since the end of the recession in Q2 of 2020? How about inflation and unemployment? How big is the gap between actual and potential real GDP? Describe the current state of the economy relative to real potential GDP (Links to an external site.).
Ignore my writing in the page, please answer A), B) and I’m having trouble graphing the AE-Y model please help ASAP thank you!
Between 2007 and 2009, the United States experienced a severe financial crisis and economic downturn commonly known as the Great Recession. Starting in 2006, housing values fell 30%, causing losses in mortgage-backed securities for families and financial institutions. The recession was marked by a drop in aggregate demand that caused a decline in GDP and an increase in unemployment. Attached is an example of an aggregate demand and aggregate supply (AD/AS) model that illustrates the general trends of the U.S. economy during the Great Recession. How did the AD/AS equilibrium change over time? Support your claims by referring to your AD/AS model. Select an economic factor (GDP, unemployment, price level) and explain what impact any shifts in AD or AS (or both) had on your chosen factor. Please tailor the answer according the AD/AS model in layman's terms
Suppose that the coronavirus pandemic (COVID 19) in 2020 has resulted in a leftward shift of the aggregate demand curve (it has also shifted the short-run aggregate supply to the left, but let’s ignore this effect here for simplification). A. Use the aggregate-demand/aggregate-supply model to show the effects on output and the price level/inflation in both the short run and long run (assume that the short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping). B. Show the adjustment process of the economy from the short run to the long run. C. What is the effect on unemployment in short run and long run? D. Can policymakers use monetary policy (and/or fiscal policy) to accommodate this shock? Describe what happens to the economy in response to this policy action.
Use an aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) model to respond to the following questions. Explain your answers.(c) Describe a government policy that is likely to cause non-inflationary and sustained growth. (d) Good weather creates a bumper crop in Saskatchewan.

Question 76 During the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden proposed raising income taxes on those earning more than $400,000 per year and raising corporate taxes from about 21 percent to 28 percent. Consider the aggregate demand-aggregate supply diagram below, which represents the macroeconomy. Suppose the market is initially at an equilibrium at point A. What effect will a tax increase have on this graph? Question 76 options: 1.The long-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the left. 2.The aggregate demand curve will shift to the right. 3.The aggregate demand curve will shift to the left. 4.The short-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the left. Question 77 During the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden proposed raising income taxes on those earning more than $400,000 per year and raising corporate taxes from about 21 percent to 28 percent. Consider the market for money illustrated in the figure below. Assume the market initially is in equilibrium at point A. What effect will the tax increase…
