The statements describe events that might shift aggregate demand (AD), aggregate supply (AS), both or neither. Clearly label your diagrams.

• A series of natural disasters occurs that causes the following changes in the U.S. economy: The real gross domestic product drops by 4 percent. The inflation rate rises from 5 percent to 10 percent. Unemployment increases from 6 percent to 10 percent. Use aggregate demand and supply analysis to explain what has happened in the economy.
Are the determinants of aggregate demand the same things that apply to demand for an individual good?
Given the following circumstances, indicate whether or not the aggregate supply curve would shift and, if so, which way would it shift: The price of a barrel of oil doubles An advance in alternative energy technology significantly reduces its cost In order to maintain a relatively clean air quality, a carbon emissions tax is levied against firms with a carbon footprint As a result of fracking, the price of natural gas is significantly reduced Advances in technology increase the productivity of the American worker, on average, by 30%
If the price level rises, what happens to aggregate supply? Aggregate supply _______. A. doesn't change, but the quantity of real GDP supplied increases B. decreases C. increases D. doesn't change, but the quantity of real GDP supplied decreases
What kind of change would happen to aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and real GDP. if foreign countries purchase an unusually large number of U. S. manufactured passenger and military airplanes.
Between 2007 and 2009, the United States experienced a severe financial crisis and economic downturn commonly known as the Great Recession. Starting in 2006, housing values fell 30%, causing losses in mortgage-backed securities for families and financial institutions. The recession was marked by a drop in aggregate demand that caused a decline in GDP and an increase in unemployment. Attached is an example of an aggregate demand and aggregate supply (AD/AS) model that illustrates the general trends of the U.S. economy during the Great Recession. How did the AD/AS equilibrium change over time? Support your claims by referring to your AD/AS model. Select an economic factor (GDP, unemployment, price level) and explain what impact any shifts in AD or AS (or both) had on your chosen factor. Please tailor the answer according the AD/AS model in layman's terms
Which of the following statements concerning the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model is correct? a. The aggregate demand and aggregate supply model is nothing more than a large version of the model of market demand and supply. b. The price level and quantity of output adjust to bring aggregate demand and supply into balance. c. The aggregate supply curve shows the quantity of goods and services that households, firms, and the government want to buy at each price. d. The aggregate demand shows the quantity of goods and services that firms are willing to produce at a given price level.
The recession of 2007-2009 was made worse by a global financial crisis. Show the effect of the Great Recession on the economy by shifting aggregate demand and/or aggregate supply curves as appropriate.
The following graph shows a decrease in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the left from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to fall at all price levels. For example, at a price level of 140, output is now $200 billion, where previously it was $300 billion. The following table lists several determinants of aggregate demand. Complete the table by indicating the change in each determinant necessary to decrease aggregate demand. Change needed to decrease AD Wealth (increase/ decrease) Taxes (increase/ decrease) Expected rate of return on investment (increase/ decrease) Incomes in other countries (increase/ decrease)
Determinants of aggregate demand The following graph shows a decrease in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the left from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to fall at all price levels.

Determinants of aggregate demand The following graph shows an increase in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the right from AD1AD1 to AD2AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to rise at all price levels. For example, at a price level of 140, output is now $400 billion, where previously it was $300 billion.
On the following graph, plot the aggregate demand curve that results from varying the price level from 110 to 130 to 150, holding all else equal.
