Assume that the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical at Y = 3,000 while the short-run aggregate supply curve is horizontal at P = 1.0. Suppose that the country experiences an important crop failure due to severe tornadoes. What will be the immediate impact following the shock? Select one: a. the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts up, the price level rises, and output falls. b. the price level falls, output falls, and the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts down. c. the price level falls, output falls, but the short-run aggregate supply curve does not shift. d. the price level stays the same, the short-run aggregate supply curve does not shift, but output falls.
What usually causes a positive disequilibrium rate? What usually causes a negative disequilibrium rate?
The term Great Depression refers to the greatest and longest economic recession in modern world history. The Great Depression ran between 1929 and 1941. Critically discuss this statement, inclusive of what was the factors caused this depression and how the countries respond to those economic shocks?
Question 2 For each of the following scenarios, use a supply and demand diagram to illustrate and explain the effect of the given shock on the equilibrium price and quantity in the specified competitive market. Consider the market is initially in equilibrium. q: Due to the high costs of labour, several companies in Europe have started to outsource face masks from various South Asian countries. ALDI is one such company that has decided to outsource their production of face masks from Bangladesh. Show the effect of this on the market for face masks in the UK.
What is the main driving force behind plate tectonics? a) Solar radiation b) Mantle convection c) Earth's rotation d) Gravitational pull
Detail the macroeconomic policies that might be used to tackle the effects of a severe negative supply shock and explain the dilemmas faced.
AD/AS model. Country A is an oil exporting country. The aggregate demand and supply functions are given as below: AD : Y = 710 − 30P + 5G+3Poil AS : Y = 10 + 5P − 2Poil where Y is real GDP, P is the price level, G is the government purchases, and Poil is the world price of oil. Write down the equilibrium condition. Solve for the equilibrium value of real GDP and the price level (hint: take G and Poil as known variables). Draw the AD/AS graph to show when Poil rises in the world market, what will happen the AD and SAS curves. Explain the price level effect and the output effect due to the change of the oil price.
Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply - End of Chapter Problem A fall in the value of the dollar against other currencies makes U.S. final goods and services cheaper to foreigners, even though the U.S. aggregate price level remains the same. As a result, foreigners demand more U.S. aggregate output. Your study partner says that this represents a movement down the aggregate demand curve because foreigners are demanding more in response to a lower price. You, however, insist that this represents a rightward shift of the aggregate demand curve.
The next Olympics Summer Games will be held in 2021 in Tokyo, Japan. Qestion: Using the Aggregate Demand – Aggregate Supply (AD/AS) model, critically discuss the impact of hosting such a large scale global event on the Japanese macroeconomy.
Subsidies: Governments can provide subsidies to businesses that are most affected by the supply shock. For example, if a sudden rise in the price of oil is causing higher transportation costs, governments can provide subsidies to help offset those costs. Explain that graphically please.
What are the results of economic policies in Mexico and what do they look like in the short-run and long-run? Include an AD-AS Model graph that shows the results of your recommended economic policies.
Consider an oil-exporting economy in its long-run equilibrium. Which of the following explains the ultimate short-run effect of a decrease in international oil price on the GDP of this economy? The GDP will ultimately be at potential output. The GDP will ultimately decrease. The GDP will ultimately increase. The effect on GDP will be ambiguous.
