Construct an Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand model where AS and AD are in equilibrium at potential GDP at a price level of 110 and Real GDP of $13.0 trillion dollars. Be sure to label all parts of the graph.
a. Graph the initial effects of a recession that causes AD to decrease and real GDP to fall $0.5 trillion.
b. Explain what will happen in the long run if nothing is done.
c. If the government wanted to intervene in the economy, explain the Fiscal Policy measures that can be used to bring real GDP back to potential.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Explain the shape of aggregate demand curve.
How do Classical and Keynesian economists differ in their view of the aggregate supply curve?
Discuss how the economy returns to equilibrium in response to changes in aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) in both the short run and long run.
consider that our recent recession seems to demonstrate that expenditures and incomes depend on each other. If markets do not self-adjust, how can a decline in spending lead to a negative process that ruins an economy? (Consider implications of gaps in the "Keynesian Cross" and/or the "Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply Diagram" to illustrate your points.)

- In a carefully labelled diagram, draw an economic equilibrium in the Keynesian range of the aggregate supply curve. 2. Describe a situation that would cause the AD curve to shift to the right. 3.Draw the new AD curve in your diagram above and mark the new equilibrium.arrow_forwardAn economy is operating with output that is $40 billion below its natural level, and fiscal policymakers want to close this recessionary gap. The central bank agrees to adjust the money supply to hold the interest rate constant, so there is no crowding out. The marginal propensity to consume is 4/5, and the price level is completely fixed in the short run. In what direction and by how much would government spending need to change to close the recessionary gap? Explain your thinking.?arrow_forwardIn an effort to increase output in the short run due to the poor economy, government officials have decided to cut taxes. They are considering two possible temporary tax cuts of equal size in terms of lost revenue. The first would reduce the taxes on people with incomes above $100,000 per year. The second would cut taxes on people with incomes below $60,000 for one year. Which change would have a greater impact on aggregate spending (i.e shift the aggregate demand curve further to the right)? Why?arrow_forward

How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion. b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T).

Consumption will come out of its stagnation and shift AD to the right, bringing output back to full employment levels. b. Wage rates will increase, attracting labor back to full employment levels ans increasing output back to its natural rate. c. Long-run aggregate supply will shift left due to decreases in spending and restore long-run equilibrium. d. Nominal wages will decrease as the duration of unemployment extends, eventually shifting short-run aggregate supply to the right, bringing output back to its natural level. e.

By influencing the amount of total spending in the economy, the government can influence the position of the aggregate demand curve. Our theory tells us that aggregate demand will shift by a multiple of the change in spending or taxes. However, spending and tax changes have slightly different effects, as changes in taxes affect spending only indirectly by changing the amount of disposable income. An expansionary fiscal policy may be implemented to fight a recession, while a contractionary policy may be appropriate to control demand-pull inflation.
