8. Economic fluctuations II The following graph shows the short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), the aggregate demand curve (AD), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level is equal to the actual price level, and the economy is in long-run equilibrium at its natural level of output, $120 billion. Suppose war in the world's main oil-producing region sharply reduces the world oil supply, causing oil prices to rise and increasing the costs of producing goods and services in this economy. Use the graph to help you answer the questions about the short-run and long-run effects of the increase in production costs that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph.) Hint: For simplicity, ignore any possible impact of the higher oil prices on the natural level of output. ? 140 LRAS AS CE LEVEL 135 130 125 120 AD I AS 14

8. Economic fluctuations I The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion. Suppose a sudden and severe contraction in the housing market reduces the value of homes and causes consumers to spend less. Shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the housing market slump. (2) 240 AS 200 AD 140 AS 120 80 AD 40 200 400 800 1000 1200 OUTPUT (BIlons of dollars) In the short run, the decrease in consumption spending associated with the housing market contraction causes the price level to * the price level people expected and the quantity of output to v the natural level of output. The housing market slump will cause the unemployment rate to the natural rate of unemployment in the short run. Again, the following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of…
7. Increase in the aggregate demand and long-run aggregate supply curves Consider the dynamic aggregate demand and aggregate supply diagram for a hypothetical economy. Between 2041 and 2042, the aggregate demand curve (AD) shifts from AD₁ to AD2, the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) shifts from SRAS₁ to SRAS2, and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) shifts from LRAS₁ to LRAS₂. PRICE LEVEL (CPI) 100 96 LRAS₁ LRAS₂ AD1 SRAS 10.2 10.6 REAL GDP (Trillions of dollars) SRAS₂ AD2 ?
Question 14 Suppose investment spending falls and as a result firms reduce their level of production of good and services. We call this a supply shock. True False
9. Suppose an economy is in long-run equilibrium. A.) Use the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to illustrate the initial equilibrium (call it point A). Be sure to include both short-run and long-run aggregate supply. B.) The central bank raises the money supply by 5%. Use your diagram to show what happens to output and the price level as the economy moves from the initial to the new short-run equilibrium (call it point B). C.) Now show the new long-run equilibrium (call it point C). What causes the economy to move from point B to point C? D.) According to the sticky-wage theory of aggregate supply, how do nominal wages at point A compare to nominal wages at point B? How do nominal wages at point A compare to nominal wages at point C?
urgent Question 3 [Consider how the COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruption in global supply chain affecting the supply of critical inputs to production. This has negatively affected the supply side of Singaporean economy on a large scale.] (a) [Illustrate the impact of this supply-side disruption on the Singaporean economy using the AD-AS model. Assume that the economy was initially in good shape and operating at its potential represented by Y*. Provide an explanation to explain what is happening in your diagram. (100 words)] (b) [Following this shock to the economy, as described in part (a) of this question, indicate what would be the response of the Central Bank for each of the scenarios below. Highlight any trade-offs that the Central Bank must consider for each of these potential responses (100 words total) Scenario (i) - Assume the Central Bank is most concerned about inflation. Scenario (ii) - Assume the Central Bank is most concerned about unemployment. Explain the…
Which circumstance would contribute to a relatively flat slope of the short-run aggregate supply curve?(a) An increase in investment spending on residential construction causes an increase in wages for skilled carpenters.(b) An increase in foreign tourists coming to the United States causes an increase in prices of lodging at resort destinations.(c) A high number of vacancies in a shopping mall allows retail tenants to take on larger spaces with no increase in rent.(d) An increase in consumption spending on home furnishings allows furniture stores to reduce the number of promotional discounts offered.
