**Understanding Long-Run Economic Effects**Suppose the Federal Reserve (the Fed) doubles the growth rate of the quantity of money in the economy. In the long run, the increase in money growth will change which of the following? **Check all that apply.**- The quantity of physical capital- The level of technological knowledge- The inflation rate - The price levelSuppose the economy produces real GDP of $60 billion when unemployment is at its natural rate.**Use the purple points (diamond symbols) to plot the economy's long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve on the graph below.**### Graph Explanation:The graph shows the relationship between the Price Level (vertical axis) ranging from 100 to 132 and the Output (in billions of dollars) (horizontal axis) ranging from 0 to 80.1. **Initial State:** - The graph starts with no initial plot. 2. **Long-Run Aggregate Supply (LRAS) Curve:** - Using the purple points (diamond symbols), the LRAS curve is plotted vertically at the point where Output (real GDP) equals $60 billion. - This vertical line indicates that in the long run, the aggregate supply is not influenced by the price level and is represented at the natural rate of output ($60 billion in this case).**Final Graph:**- The LRAS is depicted with a vertical line at the output of $60 billion, indicating the economy's potential output level at full employment.This graph representation helps in understanding that in the long run, the economy's ability to produce goods and services (its real GDP) is determined by factors such as labor, capital, and technology, rather than the price level. ### Impact of Government Policies on Long-Run Aggregate Supply (LRAS)#### Hypothetical Policy ScenarioSuppose the government passes a law that significantly increases the minimum wage. The policy will cause the natural rate of unemployment to:- [Dropdown Menu], which will: - Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right - Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the left - Not affect the long-run aggregate supply curve---### Impact Analysis of Different Events on LRASIn the following table, determine how each event affects the position of the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve.| Event | Direction of LRAS Curve Shift ||-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|| The government allows more immigration of working-age adults who find work. | [Dropdown Menu] || For environmental and safety reasons, the government requires that the country's nuclear power plants be permanently shut down. | [Dropdown Menu] || An investment tax credit increases the rate at which firms acquire machinery and equipment. | [Dropdown Menu] |---### Explanation- **Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right:** Indicates an increase in the economy's production capacity.- **Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the left:** Indicates a decrease in the economy's production capacity.- **Not affect the long-run aggregate supply curve:** Indicates no significant change in the economy's production capacity.In making these determinations, consider how each event influences factors such as labor force size, capital stock, and technological innovations, which are critical determinants of long-run aggregate supply.

How will an increase in aggregate demand most likely affect the economy in the long run? Because output is above full-employment level of output, unemployment is below the natural rate of unemployment. The nominal wage will be pushed upward thus increasing the cost of production and aggregate supply decreases. Real GDP returns to full employment and the price level decrease. Because output is below full-employment level of output, unemployment is above the natural rate of unemployment. The nominal wage will be pushed downwards thus reducing the cost of production and aggregate supply increases. Real GDP returns to full employment and the price level increase. Because output is above full-employment level of output, unemployment is below the natural rate of unemployment. The nominal wage will be pushed upward thus increasing the cost of production and aggregate supply decreases. Real GDP returns to full employment and the price level increases Because output is above full-employment…

If a recessionary gap occurs in the short run, then in the long run a new equilibrium arises when input prices and expectations adjust downward, causing the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift downward and to the right and pushing equilibrium real GDP per year back to its long-run value. The Federal Reserve can eliminate a recessionary gap in the short run by undertaking a policy action that increases aggregate demand. Which of the following is one monetary policy action that could eliminate the recessionary gap in the short run? A. The Fed can increase the money supply through an open market purchase of Treasury securities. B. The Fed can lower taxes. C. The Fed can increase the money supply through an open market sale of Treasury securities. D. The Fed can decrease the money supply through an open market purchase of Treasury securities.

Allowed to self-correct, the economy will experience higher inflation. the GDP gap does not change, but the inflation rate will rise. there is not enough information to answer the question.
According to the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model, in the long run a decrease in the money supply leads to A) decreases in both the price level and real GDP. B) an increase in real GDP and an increase in the price level. C) a decrease in the price level but does not change real GDP. D) an increase in the price level but does not change real GDP.
Based on research conducted by the Department of Economic Analysis, the government and policy advisors of an economy believe that the full employment GDP is $7500 billion, and Pe, the overall expected price level is 118. In addition, the researchers estimate that the short run aggregate supply equation is Y = Ypot + 80 (P - Pe), where Ypot is the potential level of output. In 2016, the population was 400 million, and the structure of the economy was described by the following equations for household consumption behavior and taxes received: C = 100+ 0.8DI, and T = 0.25Y where all monetary values are in billions of dollars. Government spending was fixed at $1700 billion, and firm's investment behavior was fixed at $800 billion. Trading is allowed in this economy and in 2016, trading occurred such that the trade account was balanced. That is, net exports (X - IM) was equal to zero. (Question 1 of 20) What is the equilibrium level of GDP (in billions of dollars) in 2016? (report your…

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.
