Two potential causes of inflation above target in the AD-AS model:
Demand-pull inflation: This occurs when aggregate demand (AD) increases more than the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS). In the AD-AS diagram, this would be represented by a rightward shift of the AD curve. The result is a higher price level and real GDP beyond the long-run macroeconomic equilibrium level.
Cost-push inflation: This occurs when the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve shifts to the left due to increased production costs, such as rising wages or input prices. In the AD-AS diagram, this would be represented by a leftward shift of the SRAS curve. The result is a higher price level and a reduction in real GDP. how do i graph this information in an ad-as diagram
Consider a standard AD-AS model.
The economy is affected by the following sequence of events. In period 1 there is a shock to the economy that is temporary. In period 2, the shock ends. But having observed an inflation outcome different to the inflation target, inflation expectations change from the inflation target to a value exactly equal to the observed inflation in period 1 (that is, expectations are not `anchored’).
A temporary positive demand shock would lead to output above potential in period 1, but below potential in period 2.
Answer true or false. Please briefly explain your answer.
Draw and properly label an AD-AS model to show Keynesian, intermediate, and neoclassical zones (6%). Then, briefly explain the levels of unemployment, inflation and real GDP in each zone, and confirm whether or not goals of a macro economy are being achieved in each zone. (14%)

Retrieved from http://economicsonline.co.uk/Managing_the_economy/Aggregate_demand.html Hayek says that markets will heal themselves and that government should not intervene.

- Which of the following describes the use of Keynesian macroeconomic policy to resolve an inflationary gap problem in the economy? a) Unemployment, resulting from the short-run product markets equilibrium being below Long-run Aggregate Supply (LRAS), causes wages to decline, which increases short-run Aggregate Supply (AS), until long-run equilibrium is attained at full employment level of income and a lower price level. b) Government spending is increased, increasing Aggregate Demand (AD) to a level sufficient to attain long-run equilibrium at full employment level of income and a higher price level. c) In attempting to produce beyond the economy's natural level of GDP, producers bid up wages and prices of other resources, causing the short-run Aggregate Supply (AS) to decrease to the point where long-run equilibrium is restored. d) Taxes are increased reducing Aggregate Demand (AD) to a level consistent with full employment.arrow_forwardPlease note I only need help with Part 4 and 5.

What could happen to the inflation rate? Part 2: The Keynesian AD-AS model describes what happens with price levels when aggregate demand increases. Could you find any evidence from the last ten-fifteen years that might support AD-AS model descriptions of demand-pull inflation, cost-push inflation, and recession? For example, you could find data on the GDP’s of any two countries from 2000 to 2017 to support your findings. Please note the followong for the next 3 parts of this.
