Locate a news article that describes an event that would cause a shift in the Aggregate Demand (Aggregate Expenditure). Describe if the event would cause an “upward” or “downward” shift in the Aggregate Demand curve and why. Briefly explain how this then fits within the Consumption Function.
42. What is happening when the aggregate demand curve moves to the left on the model?
Consumers have more disposable income and are spending more money.
Consumers are renting more and buying less.
Consumers are investing more in the market for money.
Consumers have less disposable income and are spending less money.
Problem 1:
Suppose the current price level is 105, and the current level of RGDP is $17.2 trillion.
Illustrate each of the following situations on a graph.
a. The price level rises to 110, while other variables remain constant.
b. Firms become pessimistic and reduce their investment. Assume that the price level
remains constant.
Problem 2:
Briefly explain whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Real GDP
is currently $17.2 trillion, and potential GDP is $17.4 trillion. If the president would
increase government purchases by $200 billion or cut taxes by $200 billion, the economy
could be brought to the equilibrium at potential GDP."
