Assuming Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply are initially at ADo and ASo respectively, which of the following explains the adjustment towards long-run equilibrium depicted in Figure B?
a. Unemployment (resulting from the short-run equilibrium being below LRAS) causes wages to decline, which increases AS till long-run equilibrium is attained at full employment level of income and a lower price level.
b. Government spending is increased, increasing AD to a level sufficient to attain long-run equilibrium at full employment level of income and a higher price level
c. In attempting to produce beyond the economy's natural level of GDP, producers bid up wages and prices of other resources, causing the AS to decrease to the point where long-run equilibrium is restored.
d. Taxes are increased reducing AD to a level consistent with long-run equilibrium
Assume that aggregate demand is unaffected by the gas tax holiday. After the economy has fully adjusted to the gas tax holiday, the long-run effect is (an increase, no change, a decrease) in aggregate output and (an increase, no change, a decrease) in the price level.
Suppose an economy experiences a positive supply shock. What is the short-run effect on output and the price level?
Group of answer choices
Output rises and the price level falls.
Output and the price level both rise.
Output falls and the price level rises.
Output and the price level both fall.
