Assume the graph represents the Japanese economy during the first quarter of 2014. Use the information from the seventh paragraph of the Washington Post article Japan Recession, Europe Stagnation Cast Pall over Global Economic Outlook to demonstrate how the policies of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe affected the economy in the subsequent quarters of 2014.
The graph depicts aggregate demand (AD), short‑run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long‑run aggregate supply (LRAS). LRAS is sometimes labeled potential output.
The following graph shows the short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves (SRAS and LRAS) for an economy.
Suppose there is a technological improvement that allows firms to reduce their costs of production permanently.
Drag one or both of the curves on the graph to illustrate the long-term effects of this change. If you don't believe there will be any long-term effects,
leave the curves where they are.

- The graphs illustrate an initial equilibrium for the economy. Suppose that the government increases taxes. Use the graphs to show the new positions of aggregate demand (AD), short-run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) in both the short run and the long run, as well as the short-run and long-run equilibriums resulting from this change. Then, indicate what happens to the price level and GDP in the short run and in the long run.

During World War II, the United States increased military spending. Show the effect of the following scenario on the aggregate demand curve by dragging the curve or moving the point to the appropriate position. Note: Tool tip: To move the curve, click and drag any part of the curve. The curve will snap into position, so if you try to move it and it snaps back to its original position, just try again and drag it a little farther.

- The following graph shows an increase in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the right from AD1 to AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to rise at all price levels.
