The aggregate demand and aggregate supply model is a useful simplification of the macroeconomy used to explain short-run fluctuations in economic activity around its long-run trend. The horizontal axis of a diagram of the aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves measures which of the following? The amount of a particular representative good produced in the economy The price of a particular representative good produced in the economy An economy's price level An economy's real GDP Which of the following are reasons that the short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward? Check all that apply. As the price level rises, firms pay higher wages for workers. O As the price level rises, firms find it more profitable to hire workers at any given wage. O As the price level rises, firms expand their production because they can sell their output for more money.

The following graph shows an increase in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the right from AD1 to AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to rise at all price levels. For example, at a price level of 140, output is now $400 billion, where previously it was $300 billion. 170 160 150 140 - 130 AD2 120 110 AD, 100 90 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) The following table lists several determinants of aggregate demand. Complete the table by indicating the change in each determinant necessary to increase aggregate demand. Change Needed to Increase AD Wealth Taxes Interest rates The value of the domestic currency relative to the foreign currency PRICE LEVEL
Determinants of aggregate supply The following graph shows an increase in short-run aggregate supply (AS) in a hypothetical economy where the currency is the dollar. Specifically, the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right from AS1AS1 to AS2AS2, causing the quantity of output supplied at a price level of 100 to rise from $200 billion to $250 billion. The following table lists several determinants of short-run aggregate supply. Complete the table by selecting the changes in each scenario necessary to increase short-run aggregate supply. Change Necessary to Increase AS Technology (DECLINES or IMPROVES) Human capital (IMPROVES or DECLINES) Inflation expectations (HIGHER or LOWER)
The following graph shows an aggregate demand curve (AD) illustrating the inverse relationship between the price level and the quantity of Real GDP in the United States. During World War II, the United States increased military spending. Show the effect of the following scenario on the aggregate demand curve by dragging the curve or moving the point to the appropriate position. Note: Tool tip: To move the curve, click and drag any part of the curve. The curve will snap into position, so if you try to move it and it snaps back to its original position, just try again and drag it a little farther. PRICE LEVEL Aggregate Demand I I " I 1 REAL GDP AD AD (?)
Given the following circumstances, indicate whether or not the aggregate supply curve would shift and, if so, which way would it shift: The price of a barrel of oil doubles An advance in alternative energy technology significantly reduces its cost In order to maintain a relatively clean air quality, a carbon emissions tax is levied against firms with a carbon footprint As a result of fracking, the price of natural gas is significantly reduced Advances in technology increase the productivity of the American worker, on average, by 30%
In 2010, the economy of Quarterville had an aggregate demand and aggregate supply according to the following schedule: Price level Aggregate Demand Short-Run Aggregate Supply Long-Run Aggregate Supply 90 $1505.00 $1205.00 $1465.00 100 $1470.00 $1270.00 $1465.00 110 $1435.00 $1335.00 1 $1465.00 120 $1400.00 $1400.00 $1465.00 130 $1365.00 $1465.00 $1465.00 140 $1330.00 $1530.00 $1465.00 150 $1595.00 $1465.00 $1295.00 What was Quarterville's long-run equilibrium output in 2010? $|
The graph below presents the Short Run Aggregate Supply Curve and the Aggregate Demand Curve for Sanaton in 2001. Based on this graph, answer the questions: What is equilibrium output (Real GDP)? What is equilibrium price level?
The graph to the right shows an economy's aggregate demand curve. Show the determination of the economy's long-run macroeconomic equilibrium by (i) using the Line tool to draw and label the long-run aggregate supply curve to show an equilibrium and (ii) using the Point tool to identify the equilibrium point. Label this point E. Price level Real GDP AD E
The following graph shows a decrease in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the left from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to fall at all price levels. For example, at a price level of 140, output is now $200 billion, where previously it was $300 billion. The following table lists several determinants of aggregate demand. Complete the table by indicating the change in each determinant necessary to decrease aggregate demand. Change needed to decrease AD Wealth (increase/ decrease) Taxes (increase/ decrease) Expected rate of return on investment (increase/ decrease) Incomes in other countries (increase/ decrease)
