On a microeconomic demand curve, a decrease in price causes an increase in quantity demanded because the product in question is now relatively less expensive than substitute products. Explain why aggregate demand does not increase for the same reason in response to a decrease in the aggregate price level. In other words, what causes total spending to increase if it is not because goods are now cheaper?
Suppose the Federal Reserve begins to Increase the supply of money at an Increasing rate. What Impact would that have on GDP, unemployment, and inflation?
Question: How does the concept of aggregate demand relate to overall economic output, and what factors can influence changes in aggregate demand? A) Aggregate demand represents the total wealth of a nation and is unaffected by external factors. B) Aggregate demand is the total spending in an economy and includes consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports; factors like changes in consumer confidence can influence it. C) Aggregate demand solely considers government spending and is unrelated to economic output. D) Aggregate demand is the total production in an economy and is determined solely by government policies.
The economy of Ficticiousland has demand and supply schedules as follow: Price Level (CPI) Aggregate Demand Short-run aggregate supply 250 4 16 200 8 12 150 12 8 100 16 4 Reflecting GDP in trillions of dollars Please submit the answer for the following exercises, show your work. 1. Graph the aggregate demand curve and the short run aggregate supply curve 2. What are short-run equilibrium real GDP and the price level? 3. If Ficticiousland's potential real GDP is $12 trillion, plot the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) in the graph.
Question: The attached picture shows the aggregate demand/aggregate supply situation in the U.S. What is the value of actual GDP? What is the value of the GDP deflator? Assume that people and businesses become pessimistic about the future of the economy; how will this affect the graph above in the short run? (i.e., which curve(s) will shift, and in which direction?) After the short-run event in part b, what will happen to actual GDP? What will happen to the price level? After the short-run event in part b, describe how the economy is doing in terms of the business cycle (i.e., recession, full employment, expansion). What long-run adjustments will be made in this economy as a result of the short-run changes in part c? How will the curve(s) shift in response to these long-run adjustments? After the long-run adjustments in part e, describe how the economy is doing in terms of the business cycle (i.e., recession, full employment, expansion).

The table above shows Econland’s economy aggregate demand and aggregate supply schedules. Econland’s potential GDP is $400 billion. (1). Graph the aggregate demand curve (AD), the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS). Make sure to have price level on vertical axis and real GDP on horizontal axis. (2). What are the short-run equilibrium price level and real GDP in Econland? (3). What is the long-run equilibrium real GDP?(hint: it is the same as the potential GDP) (4). Does Econland have an inflationary gap or a recessionary gap? (5). What is the size of the gap? (6). What specific fiscal policy would you prescribe to close the gap? (7). What specific monetary policy would you prescribe to close the gap?
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.
The following graph shows the short-run aggregate supply curve (ASAS), the aggregate demand curve (ADAD), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRASLRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level is equal to the actual price level, and the economy is in long-run equilibrium at its natural level of output, $100 billion. Suppose a bout of severe weather drives up agricultural costs, increases the costs of transporting goods and services, and increases the costs of producing goods and services in this economy. Use the graph to help you answer the questions about the short-run and long-run effects of the increase in production costs that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph.) Hint: For simplicity, ignore any possible impact of the severe weather on the natural level of output
magine an economy in which nominal GDP grew between 2018 and 2019 and real GDP fell during that same time period. Which of the following answers might explain this? Question 30 options: A) both prices and national output increased between 2018 and 2019 B) both prices and national output fell between 2018 and 2019 C) prices in the economy increased while national output fell between 2018 and 2019 D) prices in the economy fell while national output increased between 2018 and 2019
The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (ADAD), the short-run aggregate supply curve (ASAS), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRASLRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level equals the actual price level, and the economy experiences long-run equilibrium at a natural level of output of $120 billion. Suppose war in the world's main oil-producing region sharply reduces the world oil supply, causing oil prices to rise and increasing the costs of producing goods and services. Use the graph to help you answer the questions about the short-run and long-run effects of the increase in production costs that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph.) Hint: For simplicity, ignore any possible impact of the higher oil prices on the natural level of output. The short-run economic outcome resulting from the increase in production costs is known as (hyperinflation/stagflation/monetary neutrality/deflation) .…
