For each scenario listed below, start by drawing a fully-labeled Aggregate Supply-Aggregate Demand diagram of an economy in long-run equilibrium. Then, shift the appropriate curve(s) – either AD or SRAS – dictated by the events given. Third, identify the short-run and long-run effects of each event on the price level, P and the real output, Y. a. The Federal government increases spending on national defense. b. Suppose that U.S. trading partners (e.g., China or Germany) impose a tax/tariff on US exports to these countries.

Refer to the information provided in Figure below to answer the question(s) that follow. AS2 AS1 ASo AD1 Y Y2 Y Yo Aggregate output Figure Refer to Figure Assume the economy is at Point A. Lower oil prices shift the aggregate supply curve to ASO. If the government decides to counter the effects of lower oil prices by decreasıng government spending, then the price level will be than Po and output will be than Y0- Select one: a. greater; greater b. less; less C. greater; less d. less; greater Price level

A central bank forecasts a rise in raw material costs. The government plans to increase spending on health and education. The initial equilibrium point is shown by X on the aggregate demand, AD, and aggregate supply, AS, diagram. What would be the new equilibrium point in the short run if the forecasts prove to be accurate and the government plans are implemented? AS, AS2 general price level AS B A AD, AD AD, real output C.
3) Assume initially an economy is at its long run equilibrium. Then, consumerconfidence in this economy increases. What will happen to real GDP and aggregate price level inthe short run equilibrium following the increase in consumer confidence? Use the AggregateDemand – Aggregate Supply model to answer the question.

What effects would each of the following have on aggregate demand or aggregate supply? Justify your answer. In each case use a diagram to show the expected effects on the equilibrium price level and real output level in the economy. Assume that all other things remain constant and prices are inflexible downward. (a) A reduction in interest rates at each price level (b) A sizable increase in labor productivity. (c) The nation’s currency appreciates against its major trading partners .
In 2013, Prussia's aggregate demand curve was determined by the equation M + 1-4% A change in aggregate demand means that in 2014, Prussia's aggregate demand curve was determined by the equation Using this information, draw Prussia's old and new dynamic aggregate demand curves on the graph Which of the factors could have resulted in the change irn aggregate demand seen between 2013 and 2014? 13 AD 2013 an improvement in technology O an increase in imports O higher consumer confidence O a decrease in oil prices 12 AD 2014 10 8 5 4 3 2 4 -3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 78 9 10 Real GDP growth rate
On the graph, label your starting AD line as AD 2019. Draw a new AD line showing the change to AD due to the pandemic. Label your starting SRAS line as SRAS 2019. Draw a new SRAS line showing the change to supply due to the pandemic.Label the new short-run equilibrium RGDP and Price Level. Does output (i.e. RGDP) increase or decrease in your model? Does the price level increase or decrease in your model? According to the AD-AS model when RGDP falls the unemployment rises and vice versa. Does your graph indicate an increase or decrease in the unemployment rate

Show the long run growth trend line (put a trend percentage the "makes sense") and the cyclical curve around that trend line. Be sure to also label both axis correctly. Label point A on both graphs in #1 and #2 above. Then on graph in #1, indicate the full employment level (i.e., the "usual" unemployment rate in LR initial equilibrium) at point A for YF* (at full potential output) in initial equilibrium. Assume an Increase in AD for any reason (increase in Aggregate Demand) and show it on graph #1 above. Then, Label point B on all applicable graphs above (after the increase in AD), at the intersection of the new equilibrium. -is point B a Short run or Long run equilibrium point? -Indicate the new unemployment rate at Point B that makes…
2. A temporary change in the price of oil can affect an economy in many ways. Here we will model a decrease in the price of oil using the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model. Our shock in this question will be: the price of oil temporarily declines, holding all else constant. Let's start with assuming the US was producing at the full- employment level of output (Yp) with an arbitrary price level (P) before the decline in oil prices. a. Represent the US economy at this point with an aggregate demand-aggregate supply graph. Label this initial equilibrium as point A. b. The price of oil decreases like mentioned above. Assuming this was the only change in the economy, show how this affects the short run equilibrium in your diagram in part a. Label this new point as point B. c. According to your diagram, is this economy in an expansion or a recession? Explain. d. Is the economy experiencing stagflation? Why or why not?
