In an AD-AS model, one can distinguish between two broad types of macroeconomic policy measures, namely demand-side and supply-side measures. Use the AD-AS model above to explain and illustrate, from a theoretical perspective, that by choosing the right combination of measures (policies) it is possible for the economy to grow without it experiencing inflationary pressures. Which policy combination is critical in ensuring that the price level does not increase?

How is pressure for inflationary price increases shown in an AD/AS model?
The Keynesian view of the AD/AS model states that when beginning from potential output equilibrium, any decrease in AD will : Group of answer choices a Decrease real output and decrease prices b Decrease real output and increase prices c Decrease real output and do not affect prices d Increase real output and decrease prices
The Qatari government is increasing government purchases to finish the construction of 2022 World Cup projects. Show graphically the short-run and long-run impact of this policy on the macroeconomic equilibrium point using the AD and AS model (assume that Qatar's economy initially operates at the potential level of GDP before the increase in government purchases). What would be the short-run and long-run impact of the increase in government purchases.

Suppose that in 2008, Sanaton’s government increases taxes. Show how this event will change equilibrium output and price level by shifting either the SRAS or AD curve, and then answer the questions below. Did equilibrium output increase or decrease?Increase/Decrease Did equilibrium price increase or decrease?Increase/Decrease
Consider the following AD/AS diagram of the macroeconomy, with LRAS shown as the vertical curve, AD as the downward sloping curve, and SRAS as the upward sloping curve. First, place a point at the current equilibrium. Then, suppose the government wants to stimulate the economy to restore it to long-run equilibrium by cutting taxes. Draw a new curve that shows the impact of this policy change. (You'll have to determine which, but draw it so that it reflects a parallel, vertical shift in one of the existing curves. Make sure that it's the same size as the ones shown here using the segment tool.) Finally, place a point at the new equilibrium using the point tool.

The government is increasing government purchases to finish the construction of a mega project. What would be the short-run and long-run impact graphically of this policy on the macroeconomic equilibrium point using the AD and AS model (assume that this economy initially operates at the potential level of GDP before the increase in government purchases). What would be the short-run and long-run impact of the increase in government purchases.
Why is price “stickiness” or “rigidity” important for understanding macroeconomic adjustments? How would policy recommendations be different if prices adjusted immediately?
