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?
What are the economic reasons why the AD curve slopes down?
During spring 2016 the Midwestern United States, which has a large agricultural base, experiences above-average rainfall. Using the AD/AS diagram, what is the effect on output, the price level, and employment?
Table 24.4 describes Santhers economy. Plot the AD/AS curves and identify the equilibrium. Would you expect unemployment in this economy to be relatively high or low? Would you expect prices to be a relatively large or small concern for this economy? Imagine that input prices fall and so AS shifts to the right by 150 units. Identify the new equilibrium. How will the shift in AS affect the original output, price level, and employment?
What are some of the ways in which exports and imports can affect the AD/AS model?
The imaginary country of Jasa Island has the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves given in the table below. Price level Aggregate demand Aggregate supply 100 700 200 120 600 325 140 500 500 160 400 570 180 300 620 REQUIREMENTS: Plot an AD/AS diagram from the data above. 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, so AD…
In 1999, the economy of Mistania had an aggregate demand and aggregate supply according to the following schedule: Price Level Aggregate Demand Shortrun aggregate supply longrun aggregate supply 30 $1395 $1125 $1200 40 $1330 $1150 $1200 50 $1265 $1175 $1200 60 $1200 $1200 $1200 70 $1135 $1225 $1200 80 $1070 $1250 $1200 90 $1005 $1275 $1200 If Mistania decreases spending, would this more likely result in cyclical unemployment or inflationary pressures in the following year - i.e, in 2000? Cyclical unemployment/Inflationary pressures
