Suppose to get re-elected, an incumbent government wants to continuously expand the economy so that people will associate high economic growth with the current government. Explain what will happen to the economy in the long run using the AD-AS model and the Phillips curve model, with properly labelled diagrams. Thanks.
Consider a standard AD-AS model.
The economy is affected by the following sequence of events. In period 1 there is a shock to the economy that is temporary. In period 2, the shock ends. But having observed an inflation outcome different to the inflation target, inflation expectations change from the inflation target to a value exactly equal to the observed inflation in period 1 (that is, expectations are not `anchored’).
A temporary Negative demand shock would lead to output below potential in period 1, but above potential in period 2.
Answer true or false. Please briefly explain your answer.

- Assume the economy operates in the intermediate range of aggregate supply curve. Using the AS/AD model, discus the impact of the following events on the price level and real GDP, and provide relevant figures. a) The recent oil production cut by OPEC and its allies, including Russia, disrupted the global oil market. b) An expansionary monetary policy on which the interest rate is lowered.arrow_forwardThe AD/AS model is static. It shows a snapshot of the economy at a given point in time. Both economic growth and inflation are dynamic phenomena.

Recent policy in the form of government spending increases and tax decreases will increase aggregate spending. Depict this in the AD-AS framework. How will the unemployment rate compare to the natural rate of unemployment?arrow_forwardThe mainstream view of macroeconomic instability emphasizes sticky prices. To answer the following questions, modify the aggregate supply curve in the extended AD-AS model introduced in Chapter 35. First, imagine that both input and output prices are fifixed. What does the aggregate supply curve look like? If AD decreases in this situation, what will happen to equilibrium output and the price level? Next, imagine that input prices are fifixed, but output prices are flexible. What does the aggregate supply curve look like? In this case, if AD decreases, what will happen to equilibrium output and the price level? Finally, if both input and output prices are fully flflexible, what does the aggregate supply curve look like? In this case, if AD decreases, what will happen to equilibrium output and the price level? (Hint: If you are having trouble drawing these three aggregate supply curves, review the immediate-short-run aggregate supply curve and the short-run aggregate supply curve…arrow_forward
- Two potential causes of inflation above target in the AD-AS model: Demand-pull inflation: This occurs when aggregate demand (AD) increases more than the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS). In the AD-AS diagram, this would be represented by a rightward shift of the AD curve. The result is a higher price level and real GDP beyond the long-run macroeconomic equilibrium level. Cost-push inflation: This occurs when the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve shifts to the left due to increased production costs, such as rising wages or input prices. In the AD-AS diagram, this would be represented by a leftward shift of the SRAS curve. The result is a higher price level and a reduction in real GDP. how do i graph this information in an ad-as diagramarrow_forwardIn the Keynesian framework, for each of the following events which might cause a recession and/or inflation?

- In the AD/AS model, what happens if businesses expect higher future profits while inflationary expectations decrease simultaneously? Choose all that apply. Group of answer choices Real GDP decreases. The price level increases. The price level decreases. Real GDP may increase, decrease or remain unchanged.

Real GDP increases.arrow_forwardPlease note that this is a multi part quesition; thank you so much for your time and effort it means so much to me! Figure 1: Hayek’s (Classical) AD-AS Model (Image normally goes here) Part 1: Why does Hayek’s aggregate supply curve always lead to an equilibrium level of national output equal to the full-employment level of real GDP? Part2: Hayek says that markets will heal themselves and that government should not intervene. How does the AD-AS model reflect Hayek’s idea that governments cannot increase real GDP beyond the level that the free market economy is able to produce? Part 3: Do you believe that the Hayek’s classical AD-AS model explain the factors that cause changes (shifts) in AS realistically? Why or why not?arrow_forwardIs ‘zero unemployment’ desirable?
