To determine

In the chapter titled "Macroeconomic Equilibrium: Aggregate Demand and Supply," the aggregate supply (AS) curve was upward sloping. While, in this chapter, there is flat AS curve. What are the implications for equilibrium real GDP if AD shifts by some amount and the AS curve is perfectly flat in one economy and upward sloping in another?

Using a macroeconomics demand/supply analysis, where do you think current output is relative to what the economy is capable of producing? Look at recent trends in the data. What are the recent trends in the components of aggregate demand (consumption spending, investment spending, government purchases, and exports and imports?
Suppose that the price level is constant and that investment decreases sharply. How would you show this decrease in the aggregate expenditures model? What would be the outcome for real GDP? How would you show this fall in investment in the aggregate demand–aggregate supply model, assuming the economy is operating in what, in effect, is a horizontal section of the aggregate supply curve?
Discuss one reason for the downward sloping aggregate demand curve.
