The following questions relate to long-run macroeconomic equilibrium and the stock market boom.
Assume that a hypothetical economy is at long-run macroeconomic equilibrium, with full employment and stable prices. Suddenly the stock market prices increase much more than expected, increasing investor’s wealth, and causing a short-term period of unusually increased optimism about the future of the economy.
In the short-run, will the AS curve or the AD curve shift, and in which direction will it shift?
In the short-run, what will happen to the price level and quantity of output (real GDP)?
Explain what, if any, impact will there likely be on workers’ wages, and the reasons for this impact.
In the long-run, which curve will shift due to the change in wages and price expectations created by the stock market boom? In which direction will it shift?
When the economy returns to its long-term output level, how will the new long-run macroeconomic equilibrium differ from the original equilibrium?

In an effort to stabilize the economy, is it best for policymarkers to use monetary policy, fiscal policy, or a combination of both? The following questions address the ways monetary and fiscal policies impact the economy and the pros and cons associated with using these tools to ease economic fluctuations.
The following graph shows a hypothetical aggregate demand curve (AD), short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), and long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for the economy in May 2025. According to the graph, this economy is in (a recession/an expansion) . To bring the economy back to the natural level of output, the government could use (an expansionary/a contractionary) monetary or fiscal policy such as (decreasing taxes/increasing taxes).
Shift the appropriate curve on the following graph to illustrate the effects of the policy you chose.
Suppose that in May 2025, policymakers undertake the type of policy that is necessary to bring the economy back to the natural…

- 5. Short-run shocks in the AD-AS model The following graph shows an economy that is initially in equilibrium. Then, a large decline in stock prices occurs, reducing the wealth of individuals. On the graph, show the economic impact of this event in the short-run aggregate demand and aggregate supply (AD–AS) model by shifting one or both curves. Show the movement of the AD and SRAS on a graph. This event is an example of a decrease in AD/increase in AD/ decrease in SRAS/ increase in SRAS. As a result, the price level declines/rises, and the equilibrium real GDP declines/rises.arrow_forwardAccording to the Congressional Budget Office's projections, real GDP in 2007 was marginally higher than real potential GDP. If potential GDP is correctly assessed, then during that period : (A) the economy was on its long run aggregate supply curve. (B) the economy was to the left of its long run aggregate supply curve.

- The following graph shows a hypothetical economy in long-run equilibrium at an expected price level of 120 and a natural output level of $600 billion. Suppose firms become pessimistic about future business conditions and cut back on investment spending. Using the graph, shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the business pessimism. In the short run, the decrease in investment spending associated with business pessimism causes the price level to (rise above/fall below) the price level people expected and the quantity of output to (rise above/fall below) the natural level of output. The business pessimism will cause the unemployment rate to (rise above/fall below) the natural rate of unemployment in the short run.
