Suppose that an economy wants to boost available labor hours in order to increase aggregate supply. What is the best way to accomplish this?

- In the long-run, aggregate supply is a horizontal line at the long-run price level people can afford. True False One reason for why the aggregate demand curve slopes down is the wealth effect, which means that a higher price level leads to lower real wealth and, thereby, reduces the level of consumption. True Falsearrow_forwardSuppose that the U.S. economy is at full employment when strong economic growth in Asia increases the demand for U.S.-produced goods and services.

- If the price level rises and the money wage rate rises by the same percentage, what happens to the quantity of real GDP supplied? Along which aggregate supply curve does the economy move?arrow_forwardUsing the aggregate supply–aggregate demand model, explain how output and prices are determined. Will output vary or stay fixed in the long run? Suppose the aggregate demand curve were to remain fixed: What can we infer about the behavior of prices over time?arrow_forwardThe short-run quantity of output supplied by firms will exceed the natural level of output when the actual price level ———-that people expected.arrow_forward

What about the long run?arrow_forwardAssume that the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical at Y = 3.000 while the short-run aggregate supply curve is horizontal at P=1.0, . The aggregate demand curve is Y = 2(M / P) and M = 1,500. a. If the is initially in long-run equilibrium, what are the values of P and Y?
