In early 2017, policymakers at the Federal Reserve forecast that real GDP during 2017 would increase faster than potential GDP and that the inflation rate for the year would be about 1.9 percent.
Source: Federal Open Market Committee, "Advance Release of Table 1 of the Summary of Economic Projections to be Released with the FOMC Minutes," March15, 2017.
Fill in the missing values in the table with estimates that are consistent with these forecasts. Assume that the growth rate for real GDP between 2016 and 2017 is 0.32 percentage points higher than the percentage change in potential output between those years (rounded to two decimal places).

- (Please attach a graph showing your work for each question) Suppose that the oil price sharply increased for a while, which increased production costs, causing an adverse supply shock. Use the AD-AS model to show the effects on output and the price level in both the short- run and long-run. Show the adjustment process of the economy from the short-run to the long-run. What is the effect on unemployment in short-run and long-run? Can policymakers do something to accommodate this shock? Would the outcome be different in this case? Suppose that the coronavirus pandemic (COVID 19) in 2020 has resulted in a leftward shift of the aggregate demand curve (it has also shifted the short-run aggregate supply to the left, butlet’s ignore this effect here for simplification).
