Use the AD-AS model diagram to address the effects of increasing government expenditure in the short-run and in the long-run equilibrium.
Using an AD/AS diagram (starting from long-run/full employment equilibrium), graphically show and
verbally describe how each of the following events would affect the U.S. economy's equilibrium real GDP and price level.
a. Discovery and implementation of new technology
b. Mexico's economic growth increases faster than ours
c. There is a general increase in the price of raw
materials
e. The cost of labor (wages) rises
g. The price of oil is expected to fall
d. The number of workers in the labor force decreases
due to pandemic retirements/death
f. A new Congress decreases government spending
h. Consumer confidence falls
Question 6
Suppose that an economy is currently in its
long run equilibrium. Suppose that the
government decides to increases government
spending. Being concerned about the budget
implications, it also raises the income tax rate
to maintain a balanced budget. Using the AD-
AS model, explain the impact of this policy on
the economy in the:
A. Short Run
B. Long Run

- There is a decrease in AD. Show on one AD/AS diagram the effect on output and prices in both the short-run and the long-run. Mark the starting price and output P₁ and QN. Mark the price and output at the end of the short-run P2 and Q2. Mark the price and output at the end of the long-run P3 and Q3. Be sure to label all the lines on your diagram, and if a line shifts, mark the order of the shifts with subscript numbers after the symbols (for example AD₁ shifts to become AD₂). Next to the diagram, state the effect on prices, output, unemployment, and wages in both the short-run and long-run. Assume we start at QN.arrow_forwardThe price level rises, and this changes the real value of consumers’ wealth. Does this cause a movement along the AD curve, or a shift to a new AD curve? A.

- Pessimism (suggestion: draw the AS-AD diagram to help your analysis and start with the long-run and short-run equilibrium, i.e. the intersection of LRAS, SRAS and AD curves) Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium. Then because of corporate scandal, international tensions, and loss of confidence in policymakers, people become pessimistic regarding the future and retain that level of pessimism for some time. Refer to Pessimism. In the short run what happens to the price level and real GDP? O 1) Both the price level and real GDP rise. 2) Both the price level and real GDP fall. 3) The price level rises and real GDP falls. 4) The price level falls and real GDP rises.arrow_forwardprice level LRAS SRAS1 SRAS2 D Refer to the above Figure.
