Consider the Efficiency Wage story. Suppose we had several periods of 0 inflation. Then if we had a decrease in Aggregate Demand that caused a decrease in the Aggregate Price level, we would see which of the following in the short run? Select one of the following multiple choice answers and explain why you chose that answer. a. higher inflation and higher unemployment. b. lower inflation (which would be deflation given our premise) and higher unemployment. c. higher inflation and lower unemployment. d. lower inflation (which would be deflation given our premise) and lower unemployment. e. none of the above.

I can't find anything to back up that a decrease in aggregate demand causes cost push inflation. My textbook does mention the increase in aggregate supply. I thought that a decrease in price generally meant deflation? And doesn't the decrease (left shift) in aggregate demand result in lower prices?
b) Now suppose that a stock market crash causes aggregate demand to fall. Use your diagram to show what happens to output and the price level in the short-run . What happens to the unemployment rate? C) Use the sticky-warge theory of aggregate supply to explain what will happen to output and the price level in the long run(assuming no change in policy).What role does the expected price level play in this adjustment? Be sure to illustrate your analysis in a graph.
Suppose short-run output exceeds full potential output by 3 percent. a. According to Okun's law, what is the effect on unemployment? b. Assuming that inflationary expectations are constant, what is the effect on wages?
Are there any “good” supply shocks? Explain
Discuss the short-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.
The Phillips curve represents the relationship between unemployment and inflation. You are required to think about the impact on the economy of movements along the curve. If the unemployment rate in the economy is steady at 4 percent per year, how does the short-run Phillips curve predict that the inflation rate will be changing, if at all? What will happen if the unemployment rate now rises to 7 percent per year? Assume there are no changes to inflation expectations. Provide an appropriate graph to support your discussion.
