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
If workers look around and see prices rising more quickly than they had planned for, what is the likely effect on their real wage? And what does that imply for income and employment? Again, use the AD/AS model's chart or equations.
If new government regulations require firms to use a cleaner technology that is also less efficient than what they previously used, what would the effect be on output, the price level, and employment using the AD/ AS diagram?
