Name two macroeconomic variables that decline when the economy goes into a recession. Name one macroeconomic variable that rises during a recession.
Explain, in detail, how the adjustment to macroeconomic equilibrium occurs when spending is less than production. Be sure to discuss how inventories play a crucial role in the adjustment process. State what happens to GDP and employment during the adjustment process.
Assume the following model of the expenditure sector:
S=C+I+G+Nx
TR=100
C=420+(4/5)YD
I=160
G=180
Nx=-40
YD=Y+TR-TA
TA=(1/6)Y
If the government would like to increase the equilibrium level of output (Y) to the full employment level Y*=2,700, by how much should government purchases (G) be changed?

Provide a macroeconomic explanation for this pattern. (Hint: When did the recession during this period begin and end?) The negative growth of inventories indicates a period of OA. inflation since inventories needed to be reduced in the face of increasing storage cost OB. recession because demand was met by drawing down past inventories and production did not increase.

Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the left from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to fall at all price levels. For example, at a price level of 140, output is now $200 billion, where previously it was $300 billion. The following table lists several determinants of aggregate demand.
