State the direction of shift for the aggregate demand curve or aggregate supply curve for each of the following changes in conditions. What is the effect on the price level? On real GDP? On employment? a. The price of crude oil rises significantly (300%, say) raising the price of energy generally. b. Spending on national defense doubles. c.

- Why unemployment results when Aggregate Demand is lesser than Aggregate Supply in the economy?arrow_forwardWhich statement about short-run aggregate supply is the most accurate? It is not affected in any manner by the price level. It reflects how much real GDP suppliers are willing and able to produce at different price levels. It shifts only when the employment levels increase. It is set at the natural rate of unemployment.arrow_forwardWhich of the following shifts aggregate supply to the right? a. a decline in the price of imported natural resources b. a technological advance c. an older labor force that leaves jobs less frequently d. All of the above are correct.arrow_forward

Draw a large graph and label all axes, initial and final equilibrium points, direction of shift if any, all curves and lines, equilibrium values on the x- and y-axes. State the conclusion in words. a. A cut in income taxes b. An increase in military spending c. A drop in export demand by foreign purchasers d. An increase in imports e.
