Assume an economy operates in the intermediate range of its AS curve (upward sloping AS curve). State the direction of shift in the AD or the AS curve for each of the following changes and the impact of that change on the price level, on GDP, and on employment. a) a rise in the price of crude oil b) an increase in the spending on national defense c) an increase in the cost of imported goods d) an improvement in labor productivity

The following graph shows an aggregate demand (AD) curve and a short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve for an economy. Suppose the economy is initially in a short-run equilibrium at PE, and Real GDP is 25trillion. At some point, the economy experiences a decrease in wage rates. Adjust the following graph to show the effect of a decrease in wage rates on the economy. Price Level 0 5 10 I | 1 15 20 25 30 35 Real GDP (Trillions Dollars) SRAS AD 40 45 50 AD SRAS

A number of macroeconomic variables decline during recessions. One of these variables is the GDP. What other variables, besides real GDP, tend to decline during recessions? Given the definition of real GDP and its components, explain the declines in these economic variables which are to be expected. Empirical studies indicate that the long-run trend in real GDP of the USA has an upward trend. How is this possible given business cycles and macroeconomic fluctuations? What factors explain the upward trend in spite of the cycles?
