Supply and Demand and Stationary Aggregate Demand

There are many of us out there that constantly ask ourselves, “how exactly does the U.S. economy work?” During an inflation we might conclude that we have an Economic problem, on the other hand, if we have a huge increase of jobs; we might then conclude that as an economy we are doing a good job. There are many factors that one needs to consider in order to come to a conclusion on whether we are doing a good or bad job in the economy. I will be touching base on some of the various microeconomics tools that we can use to describe the changes in supply or demand. I will also be discussing the history behind this material and the governments involvement behind this process. We all use the laws of supply

18. Which of the following would cause the aggregate demand curve to shift to the

(10 points) Explain why relatively flat as opposite relatively steep labor demand curves are more consistent with the empirical observation that there are relatively minor changes in the real wage rate over the course of the business cycle.

The law of demand is graphically demonstrated by a(n) a.perfectly vertical demand curve.b.perfectly horizontal demand curve.c.downward-sloping demand curve.d.upward-sloping demand curve.e.curved demand line. ANS

[pic] A decrease in production costs creates a downward shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve. Wages continue to fall until labor market equilibrium returns them to long term levels. This new equilibrium point is the point on the graph where D2 meets S2.

2.) Which curve(s) change and based on the lists in the text of what causes demand and supply to shift what are the causes of theses shifts? D1 changed moving leftward indicating a decrease in demand due to a technological change: a technological setback causes a decrease. This causes price to go down as well as the demand is lower.

b) What are the factors that can shift short-run aggregate supply curve from AS1 to AS2? What does Point A represent in the graph? What does point B represent? Is it the short-run or long-run macroeconomic equilibrium? Explain.

Assuming that prices remain constant, suppose that consumer assets and wealth lose value. The aggregate demand curve will undergo a:

The analysis will identify two microeconomics and two macroeconomics principles or concepts from the simulation, and explain why each principle or concept is in the category of macroeconomics or microeconomics. The analysis will identify at least one shift of the supply curve, and one shift of the demand curve from the simulation and what causes the shifts. The analysis will show for each shift, how it would affect the equilibrium price, quantity, and decision making. It will detail application to learned material about supply and demand from the simulation to workplace or real-world product. It will detail how concepts

Refer to the sets of the aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long-run aggregate supply curves. Use the graphs to explain the process and steps by which each of the following economic scenarios will shift the economy from one long-run macroeconomic equilibrium to another equilibrium. Under each scenario, elaborate the short-run and long-run effects of the shifts in the aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves on the aggregate price level and aggregate output (real GDP).

A. An increase in the rate of business formation tends to be accompanied by an increase in the

4. Draw graphs to illustrate the difference between a decrease in quantity supplied and a decrease in supply for condominiums. Give a possible reason for change in each graph.

Changes in demand factors other than price of the good will result in a change in demand. An increase in demand is depicted as a rightward shift of the demand curve. An increase in demand means that consumers plan to purchase more of the good at each possible price. A decrease in demand is depicted as a leftward shift of the demand curve. Income is another factor that can affect demand. If a good is a normal good, increases in income will result in an increase in demand while decreases in income will decrease demand. If a good is an inferior good, increases in income will result in a decrease in demand while decreases in income will increase demand. Other factors affecting supply include technology, the prices of inputs, and the prices of alternative goods that could be produced. An advance in technology, a decrease in the prices of inputs, or a decrease in the prices of alternative goods that could be produced will result in an increase in supply. A deterioration of technology, an increase in the prices of inputs, or an increase in the prices of alternative goods that could be produced will result in a decrease in

21. The curve that shows the relationship between different prices and the quantity requested at each price is the ________ curve. A. demand B. buying C. supply D. equilibrium

buyers in the market increase, the curve will shift outwards as more people will be willing to buy
