Document Summary

Gdp demanded by household, firms and the government. The ad curve v market demand curves: ad curve is built up from the demand expenditures side of the whole economy . C+i+g+nx and in this sense, represents a short run balance across these components across all micro-markets for goods and services. But the ad curve may shift left or right as well. This would be the case (cid:449)he(cid:374) a(cid:374) e(cid:454)oge(cid:374)ous (cid:862)shock(cid:863) occurs: variables that shift the aggregate demand curve include, changes in government policies. Taxes, government purchases: changes in the expectations of households and firms, changes in foreign variables in economies outside the domestic economy relative income levels between countries. Aggregate supply: lras, curve that shows the relationship between the price level and the quantity of real gdp supplied. In the lr, increases in the price level do not affect the level of real gdp. In the lr, the classical dichotomy holds and price levels/inflation do not affect real.

Consider the scenario in which the Fed is implementing a contractionary monetary policy aimed at alleviating inflationary pressures.In this regard please provide an answer to the questions listed below. In order to answer, it might be a good idea to use a money market diagram and show how interest rates affect the economy using the AD/AS diagram. No need to submit the graphs, but once again drawing the two graphs (money market and AD/AS) for yourself will go a long way in guiding you towards the right answer. Note. In the static AD/AS model, initially assume that the economy is in SR equilibrium and real GDP is above potential GDP. a) As a result of the contractionary monetary policy pursued by the Fed, what would happen with the interest rate? The interest rate is going to (rise/fall/stay fixed) Blank 1 . b) What would happen with the short run aggregate supply curve? Short run aggregate supply curve will shift (left/right/stay fixed) Blank 2 . c) What would happen with the long run aggregate supply curve? Long run aggregate supply curve will shift (left/right/stay fixed) Blank 3 . d) What would happen with the aggregate demand curve? Aggregate demand curve will shift (left/right/stay fixed) Blank 4 . e) What would happen with the Real GDP level? Real GDP will (rise/fall/stay fixed) Blank 5 . f) What would happen with the employment level? Unmployment level will (rise/fall/stay fixed) Blank 6 .

In the Keynesian model

unemployment cannot persist for long periods of time.

the aggregate demand curve determines the price level.

A terrible winter storm causes enormous problems in the

northeastern

part of the United States. This would cause

the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the left, but would have no effect on the long-run aggregate supply curve.

both the short-run and the long-run aggregate supply curves to shift to the left, but the long-run aggregate supply curve would shift more than the short-run curve.

the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the left, and the long-run aggregate supply curve would shift to the right.

both the short-run and the long-run aggregate supply curves to shift to the right in equal amounts.

Equilibrium real GDP rises after the dollar strengthened. From this we can conclude that

the increase in aggregate demand was greater than the decrease in aggregate supply.

the decrease in aggregate demand was more than the increase in aggregate supply.

consumption spending increases while investment spending decreases.

consumption spending increases but saving does not change.

consumption spending and saving increase.
