Suppose Mexico, one of our largest trading partners and purchaser of a large quantity of our exports, goes into a recession. Use the AD/AS model to determine the likely impact on our equilibrium GDP and price level.
The short run aggregate supply curve was constructed assuming that as the price of outputs increases, the puce of inputs stays the same. How would an increase in the prices of important inputs, like energy, affect aggregate supply?
Review the problem in the Work It Out titled Interpreting the AD/AS Model. Like the information provided in that feature, Table 24.2 shows information on aggregate supply, aggregate demand, and the price level for the imaginary country of Xurbia. Plot the AD/AS diagram from the data. Identify the equilibrium. Imagine that, as a result of a government tax cut, aggregate demand becomes higher by 50 at every price level. Identify the new equilibrium. How will the new equilibrium alter output? How will it alter the price level? What do you think will happen to employment?
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?
Assume an economy operates in the intermediate range of its aggregate supplycurve. For each of the following changes in conditions, state the direction of theeffect on: aggregate demand, aggregate supply, price level, real GDP.(a) A decrease in government expenditure in infrastructure(b) A severe recession occurs in a country which has been a major importer of thenation’s exports.(c) The federal government increases business taxes with diagram
Assume an economy operates in the intermediaterange of its aggregate supply curve. State thedirection of shift for the aggregate demandor aggregate supply curve for each of thefollowing changes in conditions. What is theeffect on the price level? On real GDP? Onemployment?a. The price of crude oil rises significantly.b. Spending on national defense doubles.c. The costs of imported goods increase.d. An improvement in technology raises laborproductivity.
Considering the growing potential threat of terrorists’ attacks worldwide, the President of an economyapproved a fiscal spending of $24 billion to upgrade its national defense. a. Starting in a long-run equilibrium, draw a well-labelled AD-SRAS-LRAS diagram for the economy. b. Use the same diagram in part (a) to show the SR effect on the economy’s GDP (Y), the price level, andunemployment when the federal government increases its spending on national defense. c. To stabilize the price level and the economy’s GDP, what kind of monetary policy should the economyadopt? Illustrate your answer in the same diagram in (a).
