The imaginary country of Harris Island has the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as Table 24.3 shows.
a. Identify the (i) equilibrium basing from the AD/AS diagram attached.
b. Would you expect unemployment in this economy to be relatively high or low?
c. Would you expect concern about inflation in this economy to be relatively high or low?
d. Imagine that consumers begin to lose confidence about the state of the economy, and so AD becomes lower by 275 at every price level. Identify the new aggregate equilibrium.
e. How will the shift in AD affect the original output, price level, and employment?
Using a macroeconomics demand/supply analysis, where do you think current output is relative to what the economy is capable of producing? Look at recent trends in the data.
What are the recent trends in the components of aggregate demand (consumption spending, investment spending, government purchases, and exports and imports?
Assume the graph represents the Japanese economy during the first quarter of 2014. Use the information from the seventh paragraph of the Washington Post article Japan Recession, Europe Stagnation Cast Pall over Global Economic Outlook to demonstrate how the policies of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe affected the economy in the subsequent quarters of 2014.
The graph depicts aggregate demand (AD), short‑run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long‑run aggregate supply (LRAS). LRAS is sometimes labeled potential output.

- Draw and carefully describe a graph that utilizes the Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply model that would illustrate the current state of the aggregate economy in the United States as of at the end of 2021. Make sure that you explain your graph in your own words. Illustrate the current state of the economy relative to real potential GDP. How big is the gap between actual and potential real GDP? Instructions: You should draw your own AD/AS graph which you can then embed into your post. Your graph needs to be clearly labeled and explained in some detail. Your graph must include an aggregate demand (AD) curve, a short run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve, and a long run aggregate supply curve (LRAS, Potential GDP) curve. You should clearly label both axes of the graph. Identify the current price level using the GDP deflator on the vertical axis and the level of real GDP on the horizontal axis.

There were two major shocks to the U.S. economy in 2007, leading to the severe recession of 2007-2009. One shock was related to oil prices; the other was the slump in the housing market.
