Suppose that the price level is constant and that investment decreases sharply. How would you show this decrease in the aggregate expenditures model? What would be the outcome for real GDP? How would you show this fall in investment in the aggregate demand–aggregate supply model, assuming the economy is operating in what, in effect, is a horizontal section of the aggregate supply curve?
The total expenditure in Macroland begins with these initial levels (in trillions of dollars): autonomous
consumption=1, Investment = 2; Net Exports = 0, T=2, and MPC = 0.75. Assume that equilibrium has been
achieved.
Suddenly there is an external shock and as a result investment goes down to 1. What is the change in
GDP? Use the base model to answer this question.
Equilibrium GDP goes down by 1
Equilibrium GDP goes up by 1
Equilibrium GDP goes up by 4
Equilibrium GDP goes down by 4
Name two macroeconomic variables that decline when the economy goes into a recession. Name one macroeconomic variable that rises during a recession.

Draw the appropriate AD-AS diagram to support your explanation.arrow_forwardWill the shift of SRAS to the right tend to make the equilibrium quantity and price level higher or lower?

- Use AD/AS model to solve the following problems. You have to DRAW and explain AD/AS model. Hydraulic fracturing ( fracking) has the potential to significantly increase the amount of natural gas produced in the United States. Assume a large percentage of factories and utility companies use natural gas. Scenario A: the economy is operating at full employment level of output. Scenario B: The economy is operating below full employment. what will happen to output, the price level, and employment as fracking becomes more widely used? LO1: Analyze the dynamic economic environment using economic notions and theories. LO2: Explain consumer and producer behavior and economic decision-making of economic units under different market structures. LO3: Describe and interpret measures of macroeconomic performance including potential efficiencies, government actions, and market forces.arrow_forwardConsider the following changes in the macroeconomy and show how to think about them using the IS curve. Explain how and why GDP is affected in the short run (assuming the real interest rate is constant). The government offers a temporary investment tax credit: for each dollar of investment that firms undertake, they receive a credit that reduces the taxes they pay on corporate income. A booming economy in Europe this year leads to an unexpected increase in demand by European consumers for US goods. US consumers suddenly love all things made in Brazil and sharply increase their imports from that country. A housing bubble bursts so that housing prices fall by 20% and new home sales drop sharply.arrow_forwardUse the following scenario for the next two questions. Suppose that the federal government decides to forgive all current (and future) outstanding student loans (estimated to total around $1.6 trillion as of early 2020).
