All else equal, a decline in price of inputs across the economy — such as labor — causes 6)
A) Rightward shift of aggregate demand [AD] and a higher real GDP [Y]
B) Leftward shift of aggregate supply [AS] and a lower Y
C) Rightward shift of AS and a higher Y
D) Leftward shift of AD and deflation
Consider a closed economy, where wages are sticky in the short run. The consumption function isC = c0 + c1(Y − T ), where the marginal propensity to consume c1 is equal to 0.75. Initially the economy is in equilibrium at Y = Y* and P = P e, where P e is the price level that was expected when agents agreed their fixed nominal wage contracts. The short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) is horizontal.
Suddenly the government increases government spending G by $500.
1. By how much will output Y change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated?
2. By how much will consumption C change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated?
3. By how much will investment I change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated?

- Aggregate demand and aggregate supply, based on a problem from “Principles of Economics” by N. Gregory Mankiw a) List the components of country’s GDP in an open economy. For each component, provide an example of an event that would cause a shift of the aggregate demand curve to the right.b) What will be the effect of such events on the level of prices and the real outcome in the short run? Provide a graph.c) What will be the effect of such events on the level of prices and the real outcome in the longrun? Update your grapharrow_forwardStart at full-employment (FE) equilibrium with flexible wages and worker misperception of price level changes in the short run. Suppose then that we have an increase in Aggregate Demand. First, think about the short-run effects on price level (P), output level (Q), wage level (W), employment (L), and unemployment (U)? In the long run, once workers realize that there was a change in the price level, they will change the supply curve of labor. When all subsequent wage and price adjustments take place, we will be in a new long-run equilibrium. From the original full-employment (FE) equilibrium to the final one, what is the net change in the price level (P), output level (Q), the nominal wage (W), employment (L), unemployment rate (U), and the real wage (W/P)? Group of answer choices a) An increase in P, no change in Q, no change in W, an increase in L, an increase in U and no change in W/P. b) An increase in P, a decrease in Q, a decrease in W, a decrease in L, an…arrow_forwardPrice level (GDP priceindex) Real GDP demanded Real GDP supplied (trillions of 2005 yen) 75 600 400 105 450 550 135 300 700 The short-run macroeconomic equilibrium real GDP is ¥------ trillion and the equilibrium price level is ------.
