The United States has experienced persistent inflation (=inflationary gaps) duringthe 1960s and especially throughout the 1970s. But there has been some inflationevery year since 1954. What would have been the prevailing solution to thisproblem before the Great Depression in 1930s? Explain and show graphically usingthe model of Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply.

What is the relationship in ADAS between oil price and inflation and also the unemployment rate? Given that Oil prices keep increasing The consumer price index keeps increasing The unemployment rate keeps decreasing
1. Suppose that the oil price sharply increased for a while, which increased production costs, causing an adverse supply shock. A. Use the AD-AS model to show the effects on output and the price level in both the short- run and long-run. B. Show the adjustment process of the economy from the short-run to the long-run. C. What is the effect on unemployment in short-run and long-run? D. Can policymakers do something to accommodate this shock? Would the outcome be different in this case?
For each of the three theories for the upward slopeof the short-run aggregate-supply curve, carefullyexplain the following:a. how the economy recovers from a recession andreturns to its long-run equilibrium without anypolicy interventionb. what determines the speed of that recovery
1) According to the Phillips Curve, as unemployment falls what happens to inflation? Why? 2) According to the Phillips Curve, as unemployment rises what happents to inflaiton? Why? 3) According to the Aggregate Supply/ Aggrgeate Demand model, if AD increases what happebs to Price Level GDP and Unemployment 4) Accroding to the AS/AD model, if AD decreases what happens to PL, GDP and unemployment? 5) According to the AS/AD model if AS decreases what happens to PL GDP and unemployment? 6) Based on your answer to #5 how would you show the decrease in AS on the Philips Curve?
2. Show a AD-AS graph inflation in the short run and the shift in the SAS necessary to eliminate it.
Assume, while an economy is in long-run equilibrium, an adverse supply shock occured, suchas energy prices have incrased. The central bank decides to accommodate this shock and restores theequilibrium quickly. What would be the effect of this policy action on inflation? Explain and illustratewith the help of an AD-AS diagram.
1. Use the AD-AS model attached to explain and illustrate the difference between demand side measures and supply side measures and give an example of each. Also mention which markets are embedded within each curve. 2. Use the AD-AS model to Analyze and illustrate the short run impact of an increase in energy prices on GDP, inflation and employment. Which type of inflation is this?
