6. The long-run effects of monetary policy
The following graphs show an economy that is currently in long-run equilibrium. The first graph shows the aggregate demand (AD) and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curves. The second shows the long-run (LR) and short-run (SR) Phillips curves. The point on each graph shows the economy's current position.
According to the graphs, potential output in this economy is _______ and the natural rate of unemployment is _______ .
Suppose the central bank of the economy decreases the money supply. Show the long-run effects of this policy on both of the graphs by shifting the appropriate curves
Tool tip: On each graph, click and drag one or both of the curves. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just try again and drag it a little farther.
The long-run effect of the central bank's policy is _______ in the inflation rate, _______ in the unemployment rate, and _______ in real GDP.

7. Effects of an active or passive policy The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD), the short-run aggregate supply curve SRAS), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Suppose the economy is in short-run equilibrium. The _______ of $4 trillion drives unemployment _______ the unemployment rate consistent with full-employment output. Suppose public officials are concerned about the $4 trillion gap in the economy and the resulting lower-than-expected aggregate demand. The government has decided to follow an active...
Economics chart The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the price level of 120 and potential output of $300 billion. Suppose several foreign economies experience severe recessions, causing foreign purchases of domestic goods and services to decline sharply. Shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the economic turmoil abroad. Tool tip: Click and drag one or both of the curves. Curves will snap into position, so if...

7. Understanding the Fisher effect Aa Aa The following graphs show the loanable funds market. The upward-sloping orange line represents the supply of loanable funds, and the downward-sloping blue line represents the demand for loanable funds. For each of the following scenarios, use the graph to show how the market will react to the given change in the expected future inflation rate. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for loanable funds when the expected future inflation rate...
8. Short-run and long-run effects of a shift in demand Aa Aa Suppose that the chicken industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $3 per pound of chicken and a quantity of 600 million pounds per year. Suppose the Surgeon General issues a report saying that eating chicken is good for your health. The Surgeon General's report will cause consumers to demand chicken at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by Shift the supply curve,...
3. The short-run and long-run supply response to a change in the price level The following graph represents the aggregate supply (AS) curve based on an expected price level of 150. The economy's potential GDP level is $9 trillion. Major unions across the country have recently negotiated three-year wage contracts with employers. The wage contracts are based on an expected price level of 150, but the actual price level turns out to be 200. Show the short-run effect of the...

5. The slope and position of the long-run aggregate supply curve Which of the following factors will influence the position of the long-run aggregate supply curve? Check all that apply The price level The quantity of physical capital The amount of available natural resources The size of the labor force Suppose the economy produces real GDP of $30 bwwion when unemployment is at its natural rate. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot the economy's long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve. Suppose the...
