The following graph shows the short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), the aggregate demand curve (AD), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level is equal to the actual price level, and the economy is in long-run equilibrium at its LRAS of $80 billion. Suppose war in the world's main oil-producing region sharply reduces the world oil supply, causing oil prices to rise and increasing the costs of producing goods and services in this economy. Adjust the appropriate curve or curves on the graph to reflect the increase in production costs in the short run. . Note: For simplicity, assume no impact of higher oil prices on LRAS.

The following graph shows an economy's short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS), current equilibrium aggregate price level (P₁), and real GDP ( 21). The economy currently has Natural Real GDP (QN) of $6 trillion. Use this information to place the orange long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS, square symbols) in the correct position on the graph. PRICE LEVEL 10 8 1 A 2 0 0 2 A₁ 4 6 Q₁ REAL GDP (Trillions of dollars) 8 SRAS 10 The equilibrium A₁, shown on the graph, reveals that real GDP (2₁) is shifting SRAS O LRAS Natural Real GDP.

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
In the year 2023, aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the fictional country of Gurder are represented by the curves AD2023 and AS on the following graph. Suppose the natural level of output in this economy is $10 trillion. On the following graph, use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve for this economy. PRICE LEVEL 108 107 106 105 104 103 102 101 100 0 2 AD 2023 B I A 4 6 8 10 OUTPUT (Trillions of dollars) 12 AS ADB 14 AD А 16 A LRAS Outcome C (?)
The graph below is associated with a hypothetical country. Consider a decrease in aggregate demand (AD). Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the left from AD₁ to AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to fall at each price level. For instance, at a price level of 140, output is now $200 billion, where initially it was $300 billion. PRICE LEVEL 170 160 150 140 130 120 110 100 90 0 100 +-+ I I 200 300 400 500 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) AD1 AD2 600 700 800 ?
Improved methods of inventory control were supposed to reduce fluctuations in inventory stocks. It is clear that these methods have helped reduce the equilibrium inventory/sales ratios in both the manufacturing and trade sectors over the past decade. Yet we find that during the 2001 recession, inventory investment accounted for more than the total decline in real GDP, the first time that had happened since 1949. Explain whether this result is due to a set of odd coincidences, or whether the improved methods of inventory control actually caused bigger fluctuations in inventory investment relative to final sales.
(Note: All your answers should be rounded to the nearest hundredth. Example: 12.034 =>12.03, 5.175=>5.18) For each of the following situations, use an AD/AS model to describe what happens to price levels and output in the United States in the short run. In each case assume the economy starts in long- and short-run equilibrium, and show the appropriate shifts in the AS or AD curves. Suppose that the AD and AS curves are given as: AD: AS: P=6.1-0.2 Y(GDP) P= -1 +0.15 Y(GDP) Using Excel create a spreadsheet with the column headings Y, AD,JAS, G, and T. Let's start with no change in G, and T. Fill in the spreadsheet's cells for Y= 19.0 to Y= 21.0 in increments of 0.1. What is the equilibrium GDP? What is the equilibrium P? Now, there is a decrease in Tax (T), i.e., tax cut by $1 (trillion). It is assumed that an 1 unit decrease in T shifts the AD curve to the right by 0.08 units. If P and Y (GDP) won't change immediately, what happens to the nation's output? (surplus, shortage, or no…

Assume the graph represents the Japanese economy during the first quarter of 2014. Use the information from the seventh paragraph of the Washington Post article Japan Recession, Europe Stagnation Cast Pall over Global Economic Outlook to demonstrate how the policies of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe affected the economy in the subsequent quarters of 2014. The graph depicts aggregate demand (AD), short‑run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long‑run aggregate supply (LRAS). LRAS is sometimes labeled potential output.
Given: In the Great Recession that began in 2007-8, many workers become pessimistic about their future employment, which caused them to save more and spend less. Many employees lost their jobs, which caused them to spend less. The Aggregate Demand Curve shifted to the left <--, to show a decrease in demand. (Pay close attention to the direction of the shift of the Aggregate Demand Curve --to the left!)
