Suppose that an economy begins in long-run equilibrium. Suppose also that there is an increase
in Aggregate Demand (AD) as a result of an increase in Net Exports (NX).
9. Does the economy enter an inflationary gap or a recessionary gap? Explain your answer
using an AD-AS figure. [2 points]
10. What happen to Money Demand as a result of this shift in the AD-AS model. Does this
create a surplus or shortage in the Money Market? Does this create a surplus or a
shortage in the bond market? Explain your answer using a MD-MS figure. [3 points]
11. If the Central Bank wants to prevent further inflation, what action could it take? What
does it need to do with the Money Supply (MS) to maintain equilibrium in the money
market? Explain your answer using both an AD-AS figure and a MD-MS figure. [3 points]
12. If the Central Bank knew that there would be a lag between their decision and their effect
on AD, how would this change your answer to Q11 (if at all)? Explain your answer using
an AD-AS figure. [2 points]
Now suppose that instead of an increase in Aggregate Demand (AD), there is an increase in the
Aggregate Supply (AS) Curve.
13. Show what happens to short-run Y and p using an AD-AS figure. Suppose that the Central
Bank says that it does not want to intervene to close this output gap because it is worried
