The graph shows an economy below full employment. To restore full employment, the government increases government expenditure by $0.5 trillion. Draw a curve to show the effect of the increase if it is the only change in spending plans. Label the curve ADo AE Price level (GDP price index, 2009-100) Potential GDP The increase in government expenditure sets off a multiplier process. Draw a curve that shows the multiplier effect that returns the economy to full employment. Label it AD,...

The graph below depicts an economy where an increase in aggregate demand has caused inflation. The economy's current level of real GDP (Y) is above its long-run equilibrium.
