Consider a standard AD-AS model. The economy is affected by the following sequence of events. In period 1 there is a shock to the economy that is temporary. In period 2, the shock ends. But having observed an inflation outcome different to the inflation target, inflation expectations change from the inflation target to a value exactly equal to the observed inflation in period 1 (that is, expectations are not `anchored’). A temporary positive demand shock would lead to output above potential in period 1, but below potential in period 2. Answer true or false. Please briefly explain your answer.

Japan is experiencing Inflation due to excess demand. Draw a correctly labled AS/AD model representing where the economy is relative to the Natural Rate of Unemployment
In the AD/AS model, what happens if businesses expect higher future profits while inflationary expectations decrease simultaneously? Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices Real GDP decreases. The price level increases. The price level decreases. Real GDP may increase, decrease or remain unchanged. The price level may increase, decrease or remain unchanged. Real GDP increases.
Draw and properly label an AD-AS model to show Keynesian, intermediate, and neoclassical zones. Then, briefly explain the levels of unemployment, inflation, and real GDP in each zone, and confirm whether or not goals of a macro economy are being achieved in each zone.
Q.1.10 Strikes across a wide range of industries in South Africa in the first half of 2020 can be illustrated in the AD‐AS model as a: (2) (a) Leftward shift of the AD curve; (b) Rightward shift of the AD curve; (c) Leftward shift of the AS curve; (d) Rightward shift of the AS curve.
Apply the simple Keynesian model to discuss how feedback loops may affect the response of national output to aggregate demand shocks.
In the AD/AS model, why does any given AD shock result in a different price and output effects on short-run macroeconomic equilibrium?
Draw and properly label an AD-AS model to show Keynesian, intermediate, and neoclassical zones. Then, briefly explain the levels of unemployment, inflation and real GDP in each zone, and also confirm whether all three goals of a macro economy are being achieved in each zone. 2. Draw and properly label the AD-AS graphs or one AD-AS graph to show recessionary and inflationary gaps. Then, discuss in detail how Keynesians suggest that recessionary and inflationary gaps be closed. 3. Draw and properly label AD-AS graphs or one AD-AS graph to show recessionary and inflationary gaps. Then, discuss in detail how neoclassicals suggest that recessionary and inflationary gaps be closed.
The mainstream view of macroeconomic instability emphasizes sticky prices. To answer the following questions, modify the aggregate supply curve in the extended AD-AS model introduced in Chapter 35. First, imagine that both input and output prices are fifixed. What does the aggregate supply curve look like? If AD decreases in this situation, what will happen to equilibrium output and the price level? Next, imagine that input prices are fifixed, but output prices are flexible. What does the aggregate supply curve look like? In this case, if AD decreases, what will happen to equilibrium output and the price level? Finally, if both input and output prices are fully flflexible, what does the aggregate supply curve look like? In this case, if AD decreases, what will happen to equilibrium output and the price level? (Hint: If you are having trouble drawing these three aggregate supply curves, review the immediate-short-run aggregate supply curve and the short-run aggregate supply curve…
Which of the following is true in the dynamic AS-AD model? Group of answer choices The dynamic aggregate demand curve is downward sloping because the central bank follows the Taylor principle. An increase in the natural level of output increases the long-run inflation rate. To control inflation, the central bank should increase the nominal interest rate by less than one for one in response to an increase in the inflation rate. The monetary policy rule determines the slope of the dynamic aggregate supply curve.
How would the AD/AS model be different if it assumed rational expectations rather than adaptive expectations? Define and give an example of each.
Differentiate between the following terms. Assumptions in AD/AS models and assumptions in Keynesian models.
