Suppose that oil prices increase. This has two effects: (a) firms’ costsjump up and (b) because more of consumers’ income goes to pay for oil imports, there is lessto spend on U.S. goods. [We emphasized (a) but ignore (b) in this chapter.] Assume the Fedholds the real interest rate constant. Show what happens to the AE (AD) and Phillips curveand to output and inflation.
Homework Answers
An increase in price of oil will cause inflation to rise in the economy. This leads to a fall in demand for other goods in the economy which will induce the aggregate demand curve to shift leftwards. A rise in inflation leads to a fall in unemployment in the economy. Thus, the Phillips curve moves contracts. Also, the output decreases in the economy.
All the changes are shown in the graph below:

Suppose that workers and firms perfectly forecast inflation, so that the real wage remains unchanged as the price level rises over time. Prices and wages rise at the same rate, which implies that the real wage stays constant. The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD) in an economy in long-run equilibrium. Assume the natural rate of unemployment is 6%, and potential output is $50 trillion. Use the orange points (square symbol) to draw the aggregate supply curve in...

Question 1: According to Milton Friedman, the reason there are two Phillips curves is because a. prices are inflexible. b. the expected inflation rate does not instantaneously adjust to changes in the actual inflation rate. c. the expected inflation rate is equal to 1 minus the actual inflation rate. d. the expected inflation rate adjusts to changes in the actual inflation rate. Question 2: Milton Friedman argued that there a, are two Phillips curves, a short-run one and a long-run...

AS/AD: Assume the economy is currently at potential output. Then, a major increase in stock prices makes consumers feel wealthier, leading them to increase their consumption spending. a) What does it mean for the economy to be at “potential output”? What determines the potential output? b) Use the Aggregate Supply and Demand model to analyze the short-run impact that this new policy will have on real GDP and the price level. This is the “Shock.” c) Assuming no other changes...

Help please I am so confused
1. Assume that nominal wages are sticky and that firms determine the level of employment in the short run. Use an AD/AS diagram to model the goods market, a labor demand/supply diagram to model the labor market, and the loanable funds diagram to model the financial market. Assume that in addition to the real interest, consumption depends on current disposable income and the present value of future disposable income. Speculate what would happen in...
