Should the government use monetary and fiscal policy in an effort to stabilize the economy? The following questions address the issue of how
monetary and fiscal policies affect the economy, and the pros and cons of using these tools to combat economic fluctuations.
The following graph shows a hypothetical aggregate demand curve (AD), short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), and long-run aggregate supply curve
(LRAS) for the U.S. economy in February 2023.
Suppose the government decides to intervene to bring the economy back to the natural level of output by using
policy.
Depending on which curve is affected by the government policy, shift either the AS curve or the AD curve to reflect the change that would successfully
restore the natural level of output.

Mark all that apply. Select 4 correct answer(s) Question 10 options: When the price level rises, the interest rate will rise, reducing Investment Spending. When the price level falls, the interest rate will fall, increasing Investment Spending. When the price level rises, the purchasing power of money declines and Consumption Spending will decline. When the price level falls, the purchasing power of money declines and Consumption Spending will decline. When the domestic price level rises, imports become relatively more expensive and Net Exports increase. When the domestic price level falls, imports become relatively more expensive and exports become less expensive, resulting in an increase in Net Exports.arrow_forwardEvaluate the following statements using relevant diagrams and provide detailed explanations. The statements describe events that might shift aggregate demand (AD), aggregate supply (AS), both or neither. Clearly label your diagrams.

- Using a macroeconomics demand/supply analysis, where do you think current output is relative to what the economy is capable of producing? Look at recent trends in the data. What are the recent trends in the components of aggregate demand (consumption spending, investment spending, government purchases, and exports and imports?arrow_forwardEconomic activity is subject to fluctuations (booms and slumps). Which of the following statements is correct for the US economy, considering the entire period from 1870-2015? Select one: a. Economic fluctuations have been reduced by automatic stabilizers as the size of government has increased b. The main cause of economic fluctuations over this period has been the size of the agricultural sector and the effects of weather. c. Economic fluctuations have increased due to the speed with which money moves around the world in recent years d. Bank failures and financial crises were the main causes of economic fluctuations.arrow_forwardYou will draw four separate Aggregate-Demand/Aggregate-Supply graphs. Each graph will have one curve shift. Be sure to label axis, curves, and equilibrium. Change colors to show the shift and label the new equilibrium. Draw an ADAS graph at equilibrium. Suppose the interest rates on loans on capital goods decrease. Which curve will shift? Draw the new equilibrium. Draw an ADAS graph at equilibrium. Suppose there is an decrease in government spending. Which curve will shift? Draw the new equilibrium. Draw an ADAS graph at equilibrium. Suppose the income of our trading partners increase. Which curve will shift? Draw the new equilibrium. Draw an ADAS graph at equilibrium. Suppose there is widespread concern that prices will continue to rise in the future. Which curve will shift?
