short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply, aggregate demand, or some combination of them. A deep recession in the world economy decreases aggregate demand. A sharp rise in oil prices decreases short-run aggregate supply. The expectation of lower future profits decreases investment and decreases aggregate demand. b. Explain the separate effects of each event on U.S. real GDP and the price level, starting from a

the basic laws of supply and demand that govern our society today. The prestigious economist Adam Smith once proposed that society was governed by an “invisible hand” which worked to self-regulate the marketplace in the midst of the ambitious goals of sellers and consumers alike. It is by this “invisible hand” that our economy today works, and it can be used to make sense of how the laws of supply and demand work together to guide markets such as that of ice cream. The law of supply states that a rise

obvious benefit of these tests is the reduced incidence of infection through blood transfusions. The report indicates that the current price of decontaminated blood is $60 per pint. However, if the new screening methods are adopted, the demand and supply for decontaminated blood will change to Qd = 210 – 1.5P and Qs = 2.5P – 150. What price do you expect to prevail if the new screening methods are adopted? How many units of blood will be used in the United States? What is the level of consumer and

b. The supply curve is perfectly inelastic? c. The demand curve is perfectly elastic and the supply curve is perfectly inelastic? Ans: a. Use equation 2.28 from the text to solve for the change in price. If demand is perfectly inelastic, the demand curve is vertical. The supply curve shifts up by $1, and all of the incidence falls on consumers. Price increases by $1, and there is no change in quantity. Since   0, dP/d  1. b. When supply is perfectly inelastic, the supply curve is
