If the economy is operating in the Keynesian zone of the SRAS curve and aggregate demand falls,what is likely to happen to real GDP?
What is the neoclassical zone of the SRAS curve? How much is the output level likely to change in the neoclassical zone?

- The imaginary country of Harris Island has the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as Table 24.3 shows. a. Identify the (i) equilibrium basing from the AD/AS diagram attached. b. Would you expect unemployment in this economy to be relatively high or low? c. Would you expect concern about inflation in this economy to be relatively high or low? d. Imagine that consumers begin to lose confidence about the state of the economy, and so AD becomes lower by 275 at every price level. Identify the new aggregate equilibrium. e. How will the shift in AD affect the original output, price level, and employment?arrow_forwardReview the problem shown in the Work It Out titled "Interpreting the AD/AS Model."

- Please explain why the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical. What variable causes the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift? Please identify whether an increase in that variable will cause the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the right or to the left. What is the relationship among the AD, SRAS, and LRAS curves when the economy is in macroeconomic equilibrium?arrow_forwardExplain the determinants of the aggregate demand (AD) and describe how the AD curve will shift when one of these determinants changes.arrow_forwardSuppose concerns about the size of the federal budget deficit lead theU.S.Congress to cut all funding for research and development for ten years. Assuming this has an impact on technology growth, what does the AD/AS model predict would be the likely effect on equilibrium GDP and the price level?arrow_forward
