The Canadian economy suffered two major shocks in 2008, leading to the severe recession of 2008–2009. One shock was related to oil prices; the other was the slump in both consumer and business confidence. This question analyzes the effect of these two shocks on GDP using the AD–AS model.
Draw typical aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply curves. Label the horizontal axis “Real GDP” and the vertical axis “Aggregate price level.” Label the equilibrium point E1, the equilibrium quantity Y1, and equilibrium price P1.
Would an increase in oil prices cause a demand shock or a supply shock? Redraw the diagram from part (a) to illustrate the effect of this shock by shifting the appropriate curve.
The New Housing Price Index, published by Statistics Canada, calculates that Canada’s home prices fell by an average of 3% in the 12 months between April 2008 and April 2009. Business fixed capital formation fell by 19% during the same period. Would the fall in home prices and business…
Coronavirus pandemic and resultant shutdown measures to contain it have plunged the economies around the world including Singapore into severe contraction. Assuming Singaporean economy was in long run equilibrium in the aggregate demand and supply (AD-AS) model before the pandemic (and consequent shutdown) started, answer the questions below:
a) Assuming the contraction in the Singaporean economy is mainly driven by demand side factors, Show the short-run effects of this using the AD-AS model. Carefully explain in words (100 or less).

Very similar because the models use the same data, and standardized assumptions so it does not matter whether a supply-side economist or a Keynesian economist conducts the research. Very similar because the models must conform to high government regulatory standards. About the same because political objectives never conflict with good economic policies. Very different because it is impossible to determine who funded the research.arrow_forward
