Assume an economy operates in the intermediate range of its aggregate supply curve. State the direction of shift for the aggregate demand curve or aggregate supply curve for each of the following changes in conditions. What is the effect on the price level? On real GDP? On employment?
a. The price of crude oil rises significantly (300%, say) raising the price of energy generally.
b. Spending on national defense doubles.
c. Investment spending falls as firms expect slower sales growth.
d. An improvement in technology raises labor productivity.
e. The United States raises exports of new passenger aircraft to China.
Suppose that the price index of 150 for quantity
demanded of US Real GDP is 10.0 trillion worth of
goods. Do these data represent aggregate demand or
a point on an aggregate demand curve? Explain your
answer.
Determinants of aggregate demand
The following graph shows an increase in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the right from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2, 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.

- 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.

- In the long-run, aggregate supply is a horizontal line at the long-run price level people can afford. True False One reason for why the aggregate demand curve slopes down is the wealth effect, which means that a higher price level leads to lower real wealth and, thereby, reduces the level of consumption.
