2. A temporary change in the price of oil can affect an economy in many ways. Here we will model a decrease in the price of oil using the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model. Our shock in this question will be: the price of oil temporarily declines, holding all else constant. Let's start with assuming the US was producing at the full- employment level of output (Yp) with an arbitrary price level (P) before the decline in oil prices. a. Represent the US economy at this point with an aggregate demand-aggregate supply graph. Label this initial equilibrium as point A.

Suppose that the coronavirus pandemic (COVID 19) in 2020 has resulted in a leftward shift ofthe aggregate demand curve (it has also shifted the short-run aggregate supply to the left, but let’s ignore this effect here for simplification). 1. Use the aggregate-demand/aggregate-supply model to show the effects on output and the price level/inflation in both the short run and long run (assume that the short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping). 2.Show the adjustment process of the economy from the short run to the long run. 3.What is the effect on unemployment in short run and long run? 4. Can policymakers use monetary policy (and/or fiscal policy) to accommodate this shock? Describe what happens to the economy in response to this policy action
Suppose the aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (AS) schedules for an economy whose potential GDP (LRAS) equals to $2,700 are given by the table. 1.According to the macroeconomic perspectives, which zone is the short-run equilibrium falling into? 2.Would you expect unemployment rate of this economy to be relatively high or low, and explain why? What about the price level, a large or small concern, and why? 3. Now suppose aggregate demand increases by $700 at each price level; for example, the new aggregate demanded at a price level of 50 now equals to $4,200. Add a column of the new aggregate demanded at each price level in the above table. Plot a new AD curve (on the same graph you got in a.) and label the new equilibrium on the same graph.

What would be the similarities and differences between the two shocks? What would be the effect of an expansionary economic policy (increase in aggregate demand)? Graph What measures or government intervention would be most appropriate to deal with both types of shocks? Graph Compare the adjustment in both cases with and without government intervention. Graph
10. Which of the following are reasons why the short-run Aggregate Supply curve shown in the right-hand diagrams may be vertical? a) The economy at this level of real GDP would be operating beyond the full-employmetn level. b) Inflationary expectations have set-in so, the owners of resources are acting on these inflationary expectations and insisting on higher resource prices in anticipation of future products price inflation. c) Short-run Aggregate Suply in the Classical model is always constant. d) All the above e) Only (a) and (b) are true. f) None of the above.

Analyzing Business Cycles: 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, but let’s ignore this effect here for simplification). A. Use the aggregate-demand/aggregate-supply model to show the effects on output and the price level/inflation in both the short run and long run (assume that the short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping). B. Show the adjustment process of the economy from the short run to the long run. C.What is the effect on unemployment in short run and long run? D. Can policymakers use monetary policy (and/or fiscal policy) to accommodate this shock? Describe what happens to the economy in response to this policy action.
Hi, could you help me solve this problem? It is often argued that the effect of a demand shock depends on the state of the economy. In particular, a given increase in aggregate demand may induce a larger increase in inflation (or price level) if the output gap is initially positive (output exceeds natural output) than if the output gap is initially negative. The argument is that when economy’s overall production capacity is almost fully used, firms cannot expand output much in response to an increase in demand.t Draw AD and AS curves that are consistent with these ideas and explain them briefly.
The imaginary country of Harris Island has theaggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as Table24.3 shows. a. Plot the AD/AS diagram. Identify theequilibrium.b. Would you expect unemployment in thiseconomy to be relatively high or low?c. Would you expect concern about inflation in thiseconomy to be relatively high or low?d. Imagine that consumers begin to lose confidenceabout the state of the economy, and so ADbecomes lower by 275 at every price level.Identify the new aggregate equilibrium.e. How will the shift in AD affect the originaloutput, price level, and employment?
1-What is the general relationship between a country's price level and the quantitiy of it's domestic output (Real GDP) demanded? Who are the buyers of real US GDP? 2- what assumptions cause the immediate -short-run aggregate supply curve to be horizontal? why is the long-run aggregate supply curve vertical? Explain the shape of the short-run aggregate supply curve . Why is the short-run curve relatively flat to the left of the full employment output and relatively steep to the right ? 3- why does a reduction in aggregate demand tend to reduce real output, rather than the price level? 4- Explain" unemployment can be caused by a decrease of aggregate demand or a decrease of aggregate supply ."In each case , specify the price level outcomes . 5- In early 2001 investment spending declined in the USA.
