Suppose an economy is in long-run equilibrium. a. Use the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to illustrate the initial equilibrium (call it point A). Be sure to include both short-run and long-run aggregate supply. b. The central bank raises the money supply by 5 percent. Use your diagram to show what happens to output and the price level as the economy moves from the initial to the new short-run equilibrium (call it point B). c. Now show the new long-run equilibrium (call it point C). What causes the economy to move from point B to point C? d. According to the sticky-wage theory of aggregate supply, how do nominal wages at point A compare to nominal wages at point B? How do nominal wages at point A compare to nominal wages at point C? e. According to the sticky-wage theory of aggregate supply, how do real wages at point A compare to real wages at point B? How do real wages at point A compare to real wages at point C? f. Judging by the impact of the money supply on nominal…

8. Economic fluctuations I The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion. Suppose the government increases spending on building and repairing highways, bridges, and ports. Shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the increase in government spending.
If a graph showed aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply intersecting at $18 trillion of GDP, and the long-run aggregate supply curve was situated at $20 trillion of GDP, this would indicate that the economy was Select one: a. at full employment. b. experiencing high inflation. c. in a recession. d. in an expansion.
Part (e) of the following question: Assume that a country’s economy is in long-run equilibrium. (a) Using a correctly labeled graph of aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long-run aggregate supply, show the short-run equilibrium price level, labeled PL1, and output level, labeled Y1. (b) Assume that increased uncertainty has reduced business orders for equipment. What is the impact of the change in business orders on each of the following in the short run? (i) Aggregate demand. Explain. (ii) Employment (c) Based on the change in business orders, what will happen to the long-run economic growth rate? Explain. (d) Using a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market, show the effect of the change in business orders on the real interest rate in the country in the short run. (e) Given the effect on the real interest rate identified in part (d), what will happen to each of the following? (i) The supply of the country’s currency on the foreign…
For this discussion, imagine that one of the scenarios listed below were to occur: Foreign countries purchase an unusually large number of U. S. manufactured passenger and military airplanes. The average U. S. worker has a large increase in productivity. Federal personal income tax rates are reduced by an average of ten percent. What impact you think one of these changes in the United States would have on aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and real GDP.
4) Draw a graph that plots Short-run Aggregate Supply, Long.Run Aggregate Supply, and Aggregate Demand. Indicate the equilibrium point on the graph. Then, explain the shifts of the curves and the movement of equilibrium under the following events. 1. Government increases the income taxes 2. The war in Libya increases the price of oil globally
Assume the economy of Chile is in a long-run equilibrium with full employment. In the short run,nominal wages are fixed.1. Draw a correctly labeled graph of short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply,and aggregate demand. Show each of the following.a. Equilibrium output, labeled Y1b. Equilibrium price level, labeled PL1 2. Assume that there is an increase in exports from Chile. On your graph in question 1,show the effect of higher exports on the equilibrium in the short run, labeling the newequilibrium output and price level Y2 and PL2, respectively.3. Based on your answer in part (b), what is the impact of higher exports on real wages inthe short run? Explain.4. As a result of the increase in exports, export-oriented industries in Chile increaseexpenditures on new container ships and equipment.a. What component of aggregate demand will change?b. What is the impact on the long-run aggregate supply? Explain.
Assume the economy of Mongolia is in a long run equilibrium with full employment. a. Draw a correctly labeled graph of short run aggregate supply, long run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand. Show each of the following. Equilibrium output, labeled Y1. Equilibrium price level, labeled PL b. Assume there is an increase in consumer spending in Mongolia. On your graph in part A, show the effect this will have on the equilibrium in the short run, labeling the new equilibrium output and price level Y2 and PL2, respectively. c. What two fiscal policy options does the federal government have to fix the market imbalance? Explain how each would affect the economy.
Explain whether each of the following events shifts the short-run aggregate-supply curve, the aggregate-demand curve, both, or neither. For each event that does shift a curve, use a diagram to illustrate the effect on the economy.a There is a reduction in household income tax.b A cyclone destroys the year’s wheat crop.c Households decide to have less children.d A significant amount of iron ore is found in Western Australia, capable of supplying world trade for the next 50 years.
Suppose firms become very optimistic about future business conditions and invest heavily in new capital equipment. a. Draw an aggregate-demand/aggregate-supply diagram to show the short-run effect of this optimism on the economy. Label the new levels of prices and real output. Explain in words why the aggregate quantity of output supplied changes. b. Now use the diagram from part (a) to show the new long-run equilibrium of the economy.

How might the investment boom affect the long run aggregate-supply curve? Explain
