The AD/AS model is static. It shows a snapshot of the economy at a given point in time. Both economic growth and inflation are dynamic phenomena. Suppose economic growth is 3 per year and aggregate demand is growing at the same rate. What does the AD/AS model say the inflation rate should be?
1.) The Keynesian AD-AS model describes what happens with price levels when aggregate demand increases. Could you find any evidence from the last ten-fifteen years that might support AD-AS model descriptions of demand-pull inflation, cost-push inflation, and recession? For example, you could find data on the GDP’s of any two countries from 2000 to 2017 to support your findings. 2.) In macroeconomics, the immediate short run is known as a length of time when both input prices and output prices are fixed. In the short-run, input prices are fixed but output prices are variable. In the long run, input prices and output prices can vary. What happens in the immediate short-run when AD falls from AD to AD2 to the price level and output? What happens in the short-run when AD falls from AD to AD2 to the price level and output? What will happen in the long-run?

(1) Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium. If there is a sharp increase in the expected price level, what do we expect to happen? Select one: (A) In the short run, the SRAS curve will shift left, real GDP and price will fall. (B) In the short run, SRAS will shift right, real GDP will rise and prices will fall. (C) In the short run, AD will shift left, real GDP and prices will fall. (D) In the short run, LRAS and SRAS will shift left, causing real GDP to fall.
