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?

09. The left-hand Which of the following statements is tru about the diagrams above depicting the macroeconommy in both Keynesian and Classical frameworks and a change from AEo to AE* and ADo to AD*? a) The left-hand diagrams show the effect of an increase in Aggregare Expenditures (and Aggregate Demand), where the short-run Aggregate Supply is horizontal, meaning a constant products price level. b) The right hand diagrams show the effect of an increase in Aggregate Expenditrues (and Aggregate DEmand), where short-run Aggregate Supply is vertical (constant Aggregate Quantity Supplied). c) The left-hand diagrams illustrate the Keynesian range of the shor-run Aggregate Supply curve, where Keynesian expansionary policy does not cause any inflation and thus is very effective. d) The right-hand diagrams illustrate the Classical or Monetarist range of the short-run Aggregate Supply curve, where Keynesian expansionary policy is totally dissipated in…
