potential output and why actual output can differ from potential output? (2 marks) Potential output is the amount of output that an economy can produce when using its resources such as capital and labour, at normal rates.

As capital and labour can be utilised at greater than normal rates, at least for a time, a country's actual output can
All of the above 31. The long-run aggregate supply curve is___________, while the short-run aggregate supply curve is______________. D. Vertical; upward sloping 32. According to the Fisher Effect, a 3% increase in expected inflation leads to a 3% increase in the real rate of interest. B. False 33. An increase in expected inflation in the long-run will lead to each of the following outcomes EXCEPT: A. A decrease in the nominal rate of interest 34. In the short run, an increase in government spending
domain of aggregate demand and aggregate supply: the long run and the short run, recessionary and inflationary gaps and long-run economic equilibrium, determining the level of consumption and aggregate expenditures and aggregate demand. I have been able to retain that aggregate demand is the total quantity of goods and services that a household, foreign buyers, and governments will buy at a given price level. A shift to the left of the aggregate demand indicates a fall in price, output returning
The aggregate demand curve slopes downward because of the Real-balance, interest rate and open economy effects According to the real-balance effect, an increase in the price level Reduces an individual 's expenditures due to a decrease in the real value of cash balances According to the interest rate effect, an increase in
AGGREGATE DEMAND, AGGREGATE SUPPLY, FISCAL AND MONETARYPOLICY Q No 1. Explain why the Aggregate Supply curve is upward-sloping in the short run and vertical in the long run?

AGGREGATE DEMAND AND SUPPLY AGGREGATE DEMAND:- Aggregate demand is the amount which will be spent at different values of the price level. It is composed of consumption (C), investment (I), government spending (6) and net exports (X—M). THE AGGREGATE DEMAND CURVE:- The aggregate demand curve shows the quantity of goods and services which households, firms, overseas buyers and government are prepared to buy at different values of the general price level.

It is a phenomenon of occurrence when the Price of Money is continuously Falling and the Money Price is continuously Rising. However a Sporadic Increase in Price is not always attributed to inflation
