Graph Details
Shown is a Fiscal Policy diagram with the variable Real GDP (billions of dollars) on the x-axis and the variable Price Level on the y-axis.
The x-axis is scaled from 0 to 800 billion dollars with an increment of 40 billion dollars, and the y-axis is scaled from 30 to 150 units with an increment of 5 units.
