Draw a set of AD-AS Model(linear) graphs showing recessionary gap and an inflationary gap. Explain what happens to both graphs in the long-run without government intervention.
Macroeconomics: Assuming marginal propensity to consume is 0.5. If there is a shock to the economy that increases investment spending by 200 billion dollars what will the total Change to GDP be? (Ignore taxes and imports)
Suppose the economy is in a recessionary gap. (the economy is not self-regulating and consider upward sloping SRAS) If government spending increases by $30,000 but private investment reduces by $25,000 at the same time, will increase in government purchase lead the economy to long run equilibrium in goods and service market? Why or why not? Explain with AD-AS graph.

The magazine Women of China reported that Chinese women in big cities spent 63% of their income on consumer goods last year, up from a meager 26% in 2007. Clothing accounted for the biggest chunk of that spending, at nearly 30%, followed by digital products such as cell phones and cameras (11%) and travel (10%).

Which of the following describes the way in which the self-correcting mechanism of the economy resolves the problem of a recessionary gap? a) The recessionary gap is cured by an increase in government purchases of goods and services, which implies a shift to the right of the AD curve until full employment equilibrium is reestablished. b) The unemployment associated with a recessionary gap causes wages to fall, increasing Aggregate Supply and thus shifting the AS curve to the right until a full employment equilibrium is reestablished. c) The unemployment…arrow_forward
