a) This a negative demand shock because when taxes are increased, disposable income is reduced and this causes AD to shift to the left. This would cause the price level and the real GDP to decline

b) This a positive demand shock because when government spending is increased, disposable income is increased via multiplier effect and this causes AD to shift to the right. This would cause the price level and the real GDP to increase

c) This is a negative supply shock because when oil prices are increased production is reduced. This causes the short run AS to shift to the left. Real GDP falls and general price level rises

d) This is a positive supply shock because when wages are decreased production is increased. This causes the short run AS to shift to the right. Real GDP rises and general price level falls

1. Which of the following is not a property of the aggregate demand curve? It shows the relationship between the overall price level and level consumption. It shows the price level on the vertical axis and output on the horizontal axis. The aggregate demand curve slopes downward. It shows the relationship between the overall price level and the level of total demand. 2. When the price level increases people: feel more wealthy. have the same real value of assets, regardless...

In a self-regulating economy, inflationary gaps are automatically eliminated in the le run by: a. decreases in wage rates that cause short-run aggregate supply to shift rightwo decreases in wage rates that cause short-run aggregate supply to shift left word increases in wage rates that cause short-run aggregate supply to shift rightward increases in wage rates that cause short-run aggregate supply to shift leftward Assume the economy...

Name: For each of the following events, use an AD-AS diagram to show the short-run and long-run effects on output and the price level (inflation rate); identify any output gap. Assume the economy starts in long run equilibrium. (1) The government reduces income taxes AS P AD (2) A decrease in consumer confidence leads to lower consumption spending AS P. AD AD-AS practice assignment.pdf 2/2 (3) The Fed decreases the money supply AS Pe K AD y* (4)...
Using the IS-LM and Aggregate Supply-Aggregate Demand (AS-AD) models of Chapter 12 with a flat short-run AS curve (that is, completely sticky prices), suppose the economy is at the natural rate of unemployment and so, at long-run equilibrium. Suddenly, taxes are reduced with no change in government spending. Tell me (or show on a graph) what happens to the IS and/or LM curves. Show on a different graph what happens on the AS-AD diagram in the short-run (drawing in the...
Aggregate supply and demand problems
For
each scenario analyze the impacy of the “shocks” on the nation’s
employment rate, real GDP, GDP gap anf price level. In addition
illustrate the impact of each shock using an aggregate supply and
demand diagram. Finally, analyze the policy options available to
the government to offset the harmful impact of each of these
shocks.

Q.1. You’re flipping through the newspaper, reading about shocks that have hit the U.S. economy and reading what Congress is planning to do about the shocks. (Remember that “shocks” can be either good or bad.) Is Congress even getting the direction of its response right? And if it is getting the basic direction correct, is it fighting against a long-run aggregate supply shock, where a fiscal response may not be very effective? While these policy choices will each have effects...
a. c. Consider a typical aggregate demand and supply curve of an economy operating at its long-run equilibrium. Express the condition for long-run equilibrium and graphically show the long- run equilibrium of this economy in an AD-AS diagram. b. Explain and graphically show how a positive AD shock affects the short-run equilibrium of this economy. How do the price level and rGDP change in the short term as a result? Does the positive AD shock result in a recessionary gap...
Suppose the central bank’s monetary policy leads to a decline in interest rates (we have introduced the monetary policy and AD curve in Chapter 24 lecture). Explain what happens to the AD curve and to short-run equilibrium output. 2. Suppose the Government of Canada reduces the level of government purchases (with tax rates unchanged). Explain what happens to the AD curve and to short-run equilibrium output. 3. Suppose a fast-growing world economy pushes up the demand for oil, an internationally...
1. Explain what will happen to the price level real GDP and the unemployment rate in the following cases: a. AD falls by the same amount that SRAS rises b. AD falls by less than SRAS rises c. AD falls by more than SRAS falls d. AD falls by the same amount that SRAS falls e. AD falls by less than SRAS falls 2. Explain how expectations about future sales will affect investment. 3.

6. Which set of changes is definitely predicted to lower Real GDP in the short run? a. The money supply falls and labor productivity rises. b. The U.S. dollar appreciates and wage rates fall. c. The U.S. dollar depreciates and the government passes a law making it easier for entrepreneurs to make a profit. d. Foreign real national income falls and the economy experiences an adverse supply shock. 7. Which set of changes will definitely shift the aggregate demand (AD)...
