Use the AS-AD model to analyze the impact on the U.S. economy as a result of each of the listed events. Mention if AD and/or AS shift and in which direction. Also explain what the country will experience with respect to increase or decrease in short-run equilibrium real GDP and increase or decrease in the equilibrium price level. For each event, assume that the economy is originally in a full- employment equilibrium, mention if in the new equilibrium there is a recessionary gap or an inflationary gap. A) Congress raises income taxes. B) The Federal Reserve decreases the target for the federal funds rate. C) Migration to the US increases the working- age population. D) Appreciation in the international value of the dollar.

Suppose Chino is a closed economy. A large portion of the work force has joint astrong labor union. As such, the nominal wages of most workers are downwardrigid.Suppose most households lose their wealth in a recent clash of the stock market.How would the price and output level of Chino be affected in the short run?Explain by using the AD-AS model. Particularly, use the sticky-wage model ofaggregate supply to explain the magnitude of the effects on price and output.
3. The graph below shows the AD-AS model for the US in long-run equilibrium. Label both axes and the following: AD, SRAS, LRAS.
