11. Which of the following statements about the Long-Run Aggregate Supply (LRAS) are true?
a) The LRAS represents the full-employment level of real GDP.
b) The LRAS represents the level of income and production consistent with resource markets equilibrium.
c) The LRAS represents the potential production of the economy.
d) All of the above.
e) None of the above.
12. 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…

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.

- Fiscal policy is used to shift AD. The outcome depends on the shape of the AS curve - whether AS is upward sloping, vertical or horizontal. It follows that a right shift in aggregate demand will cause no change in price level or output if AS is upward sloping. higher price level, but not higher output if AS is vertical. higher price level, but no change in output if AS is horizontal. higher output, but no change in price level if AS is vertical.arrow_forwardThe graph below depicts an economy where an increase in aggregate demand has caused inflation.
