If an economy suffers from a recession induced by weak aggregate supply, the AD-AS model predicts:
a. That the economy will selfdom return to the long-term potential level through successive shifts in the SRAS curve to the right, as real wages decrease over time to restore the natural level of unemployment.
b. That the economy will selfdom return to the long-term potential level through successive shifts in the SRAS curve to the right, as real wages increase over time to restore the natural level of unemployment.
c. That the economy will selfdom return to the long-term potential level through successive shifts in the AD curve to the right, as real wages decrease over time to restore the natural level of unemployment.
d. That the economy will selfdom return to the long-term potential level through successive shifts in the SRAS curve to the left, as real wages decrease over time to restore the natural level of unemployment.
Which of the following could shift the DAD (dynamic AD) curve to the right, all else equal?
an increase in imports
a higher real interest rate
the Fed raising its target inflation rate
a decrease in home purchases
Which of the following would NOT cause a shift in AD?
Select one:
a. A reduction in interest rates
b. A fall in the cost of production
c. A reduction in income tax
d. An increase in government spending

I want to have a frank talk with you tonight about our most serious domestic problem. That problem is inflation. Inflation can threaten all the economic gains we’ve made, and it can stand in the way of what we want to achieve in the future. This has been a long-time threat. For the last 10 years, the annual inflation rate in the United States has averaged 6-1/2 percent. And during the three years before my inauguration, it had increased to an average of 8 percent. If inflation gets worse, several things will happen. Your purchasing power will continue to decline,…arrow_forward
- Draw a macro equilibrium using AD/AS. Clearly label all important points on your graph. Show how an expansionary Fiscal Policy affects the equilibrium price level and GDP. What can be said about the trade off between inflation and unemployment in this model?arrow_forwardIn order to break stagflation, the government has to increase expenditure on food subsidies in the form of food vouchers, unemployment benefits or allowances, wages subsidy to increase household consumption expenditure and boost up the AD. With increased consumption expenditure, aggregate demand will rise, which would send a signal to the aggregate supply (AS) to raise production. This will create a positive effect, which will bring the economy out of recession. Show this in a graph.arrow_forwardUse the Keynesian cross model to predict the impact of an increase in government purchases on equilibrium GDP. State the direction of the change and give a formula for the size of the impact. An increase in taxes shifts the planned expenditure function downward. The change in income is given by AY= ΔΥ= -MPC 1-MPC An increase taxes shifts the planned expenditure function upward. The change in income is given by -MPC 1-MPC AY= XAT An increase in taxes shifts the planned expenditure function inward. The change in income is given by AY= 1 1-MPC XAT 1 1-MPC The direction of the shift is undetermined without knowing the slope of the PE function. The change in income is given by XAT XATarrow_forward
