What is the difference between the short run and the medium run in these two questions when there is an increase in gov't consumption? Also what is the difference between the natural level of GDP and GDP.
(1) In short run, higher government consumption increases aggregate demand, shifting AD curve to right. Real GDP and price level increases, decreasing unemployment. So:
Natural level of GDP - No change
Price level - Increase
GDP - Increase
Investment - Increase (since output will increase)
Nominal interest rate - Increase (since higher investment will shifting investment curve rightward in savings-investment graph, increasing interest rate)
(2) In medium run, higher price level will decrease aggregate supply, shifting AS curve leftward until it intersects new AD curve at further higher price level, but restoring real GDP to original level. So:
Natural level of GDP - No change
Price level - Increase
GDP - No change
Investment - No change (since higher interest rate in short run will decrease investment)
Nominal interest rate - No change

Indonesia's equilibrium condition of goods and services market can be expressed by the following equation: Y = CAY - T) + (Y, r) +G-IMY, )) { + X(Y*, £) where: Y=domestic output; Y*= foreign output; C= consumption: T=tax; l=investment, r=real interest rate; G=government spending, € = Real Exchange Rate. If it is assumed that the Marshall-Lerner condition holds. Explain in words the effects...
in output WHAT SHIFTS THE SHORT-RUN AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE? SRAS, SRAS, BRAS, 1. Determine whether each change listed in the table below will cause an increase, decreased or no change in Aggregate Supply (AS). Always start with SEASO. 2. IN column 1, list which component of AS is affected: input prices or productivity 3. IN column 2, draw an up arrow if the change will cause an increase in AS, a down arrow if it will cause a decrease in...
In the short run, a decrease in consumption will cause a(n) a) increase in price and output levels b) decrease in price and output levels c) decrease in the price level and no change in output d) increase in the price level and a decrease in output
6. Why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen. For example, the sticky-price theory asserts that the output prices of some goods and services adjust slowly to changes in the price level. Suppose firms announce the prices...

Which policy should the govern ment adopt? [2p] ii. Explain the short-run effects of this policy on interest rate, investments and money supply. [4p] iii. Explain the medium-run effects of the policy on the price level and on the real money supply.[3p] iv. What happens to the nominal exchange rate...

B. a price increase does not affect the consumption of other goods, while a decrease in income does. C. a price increase will increase real income, while a decrease in income will increase real income. D. None of the preceding statements is correct.
