Use the AD - AS model in the figure below to answer the following questions. Suppose the economy is currently experiencing an inflationary gap, without any government policy intervention, the economy would move from ◻ a) C to D b) B to A c) C to B d) A to E e) E to A
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

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
