The graph below is associated with a hypothetical country. Consider a decrease in aggregate demand (AD). Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to
the left from AD to AD₂, causing the quantity of output demanded to fall at each price level. For instance, at a price level of 140, output is now $200
billion, where initially it was $300 billion.

The following graph shows an increase in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the right from
AD1 to AD2, 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.

- When a recession begins and ends is determined by the Business Cycle Dating Committee (chaired by our textbook author Robert Hall) within the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The NBER concluded that the unprecedented magnitude of the decline in employment and production, and its broad reach across the entire economy, warrants the designation of this current pandemic-driven episode in the nation as a recession.

According to our aggregate supply/demand analysis, which of the following must have occurred over this time frame? (Use the graph to help you see if you can determine any shift(s).) Group of answer choices a) increase in Aggregate Demand, decrease in Aggregate Supply b) decrease in Aggregate Demand, decrease in Aggregate Supply c) increase in Aggregate Demand, increase in Aggregate Supply d) increase in Aggregate Demand, but no way to determine the direction of shift in Aggregate Supply e) decrease in Aggregate Demand, increase in Aggregate Supplyarrow_forwardConsider the following two alternative definitions of a recession: 1.A period of negative output growth. 2.A period when the output level is below the country's potential, or normal, level. Now consider a country that has been producing a lot of oil, whose oil wells have suddenly run out. This results in both its potential, and actual, output falling. Which of the following statements are correct? The policymaker using the second definition may underreact to the slowing output.

Example: 12.034 =>12.03, 5.175=>5.18) For each of the following situations, use an AD/AS model to describe what happens to price levels and output in the United States in the short run. In each case assume the economy starts in long- and short-run equilibrium, and show the appropriate shifts in the AS or AD curves. Suppose that the AD and AS curves are given as: AD: AS: P=6.1-0.2 Y(GDP) P= -1 +0.15 Y(GDP) Using Excel create a spreadsheet with the column headings Y, AD,JAS, G, and T. Let's start with no change in G, and T. Fill in the spreadsheet's cells for Y= 19.0 to Y= 21.0 in increments of 0.1. What is the equilibrium GDP? What is the equilibrium P? Now, there is a decrease in Tax (T), i.e., tax cut by $1 (trillion). It is assumed that an 1 unit decrease in T shifts the AD curve to the right by 0.08 units.

- An economy is in equilibrium at a real GDP of 750, but current estimates put potential output at Yp = 700. a) Answer the following fill-in the blank question. When Y = 750 and Yp = 700 there is a (Select One) gap and the size of the gap is equal to 0 (Select One) inflationary b) Answer the following fill-in the blank recessionary Note: Keep as much precision as possible design calculations. Your final answer should be accurate to at least three decimal places. Research suggests that the MPC is 0.8, the MPM is 0.15, and the net tax rate is 0.2. Therefore, the slope of AE is Oand the multiplier is 0 which means that G must be decreased by 0 to remove the gap and achieve equilibrium. c) If the government preferred to change its net tax rate to eliminate the gap, and not change government expenditure, what new tax rate would be required to eliminate the gap?

- just ii please !!arrow_forwardjust i please!arrow_forwardAs you know, supply and demand shifts are caused by one of their determinants. Shifts in aggregate demand (AD) show the effect of events on price level and Real GDP. Any event that causes a change in consumer, business, or government spending or any change in net exports (C+l+G+Xn) will shift AD. Any event that causes a change in production costs or increases productivity will shift aggregate supply (AS). Decide if the following events are Micro, shifting supply or demand, or Macro, shifting AD or AS. Give the direction in which the graph shifts.
