Consider the aggregate supply-aggregate demand (AD-AS) model that we saw in class. Assume that prices are fixed in the short run and are fully flexible in the long run. The initial full-employment level of output is y-900 and the initial price level is p=100: The aggregate demand curve is given by y=1500 – 6P: Scenario 3, long run: A major pandemic results in job losses, greater precautionary saving, and shutdowns and social-distancing policies. As a result, the full- employment level of output drops to y =830 and the demand curve shifts to y =1445-6P. In the long run, the output is and the price level is Note: Type in your answer rounded to two decimal places, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard may automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it. In case of percentages, do not type in the percentage symbol "%".

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. 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. How will the shift in AD change the original output, price level, and employment? Name one factor that can cause the increase in aggregate demand and the shifting of the curve.
Please explain why the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical. What variable causes the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift? Please identify whether an increase in that variable will cause the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the right or to the left. What is the relationship among the AD, SRAS, and LRAS curves when the economy is in macroeconomic equilibrium?
The graph below is associated with a hypothetical country. Consider an increase in aggregate demand (AD). Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the right from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to rise at each price level. For instance, at a price level of 140, output is now $400 billion, where initially it was $300 billion. Fill in the missing values in the table by selecting the change in each scenario required to increase aggregate demand. Change required to increase AD Expected rate of return on investment. (decrease/increase) Incomes in other countries (decrease/increase) Consumer expectations about future profitability. (improve/worsen) Government spending (increase/decrease)
We can analyze the macroeconomic effects of Hurricane Katrina using the aggregate supply (AS) and aggregate demand (AD) diagram. The horizontal axis measures real GDP, a measure of the nation’s output that removes the effects of inflation. The vertical axis measures the price level (the average level of output prices). Consider Katrina’s effect of “cost shocks” – unexpected changes in the prices of important inputs (assume LRAS is unchanged). For example, Katrina unexpectedly choked off oil, natural gas, and refined gasoline supplies from the Gulf region, placing upward pressure on energy costs. The hurricane also shut down factories and businesses, reducing the nation’s productive capacity. Therefore, the effect of the higher energy prices and reduced productive capacity is to shift the __________ curve(s). Consider how the government’s fiscal policy response affects the economy. Recall that both individual consumers’ purchases and government purchases are included in aggregate…
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. 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. State the new short-run equilibrium price level and real GDP at. How will the shift in AD change the original output, price level, and employment? Name one factor that can cause the increase in aggregate demand and the shifting of the curve.
In 2020, the COVID-19 struck and disrupted the world. As a result of this virus, we saw a decrease in Aggregate Demand, which lead to our production to nearly halt in several industries. For this discussion, your task is to: Think about some industry or type of firm that you have knowledge about and explain how that industry has been affected by COVID-19. Then explain how this impact could demonstrated in our AD/AS model.
Assume that (a) the price level is flexible upward but not downward and (b) the economy is currently operating at its full-employment output. Other things equal, how will each of the following affect the equilibrium price level and equilibrium level of real output in the short run?a. An increase in aggregate demand.b. A decrease in aggregate supply, with no change in aggregate demand.c. Equal increases in aggregate demand and aggregate supply.d. A decrease in aggregate demand.e. An increase in aggregate demand that exceeds an increase in aggregate supply.
Please see below. These are true or false questions. 1). The aggregate supply curve will shift left as the price of key inputs rises, and will shift out to the right if the price of key inputs falls. 2). Long-term economic growth is illustrated in the AD/AS framework by a gradual shift of the aggregate supply curve to the left.
The figure given below represents the long-run equilibrium in the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model. Suppose that the economy is initially at equilibrium point D in the accompanying figure. Figure 16 Refer to Figure 16. Suppose major oil-exporting countries increase oil output, thus decreasing the price of oil. In the figure this would be represented by: a movement from A to C. a movement from D to C. a movement from A to B. a movement from D to B. a movement from B to D.
