(Please attach a graph showing your work for each question) Suppose that the oil price sharply increased for a while, which increased production costs, causing an adverse supply shock. Use the AD-AS model to show the effects on output and the price level in both the short- run and long-run. Show the adjustment process of the economy from the short-run to the long-run. What is the effect on unemployment in short-run and long-run? Can policymakers do something to accommodate this shock? Would the outcome be different in this case?

The imaginary country of Harris Island has the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as Table 24.3 shows. Plot the AD/AS diagram. Identify the equilibrium. Would you expect unemployment in this economy to be relatively high or low? Would you expect concern about inflation in this economy to be relatively high or low? Imagine that consumers begin to lose confidence about the state of the economy, and so AD becomes lower by 275 at every price level. Identify the new aggregate equilibrium. How will the shift in AD affect the original output, price level, and employment?

Suppose that the coronavirus pandemic (COVID 19) in 2020 has resulted in a leftward shift of the aggregate demand curve (it has also shifted the short-run aggregate supply to the left, butlet’s ignore this effect here for simplification). Use the aggregate-demand/aggregate-supply model to show the effects on output and the price level/inflation in both the short run and long run (assume that the short-run aggregate supply curve is upward…
Q9 One reason that the aggregate demand curve has a negative slope is because Select one: a. firms produce more when the price rises. b. people buy fewer goods and save more when the price level rises because their real wealth decreases. c. The premise of the question is wrong because the aggregate demand curve has a positive slope. d. people earn more money when output rises.
