The following graph shows an increase in short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) in a hypothetical economy. Specifically, short-run aggregate supply shifts to the right from SRAS₁ to SRAS2, causing the quantity of output supplied at a price level of 125 to rise from $250 billion to $350 billion. Review the graph and then complete the table that follows. PRICE LEVEL 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 25 0 0 50 SRAS SRAS₂ 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 REAL GDP (Billions of dollars) ? The following table lists several determinants of short-run aggregate supply. Complete the table by indicating the change needed in each determinant to increase short-run aggregate supply.

The following graph shows the short-run aggregate supply curve (ASAS), the aggregate demand curve (ADAD), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRASLRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level is equal to the actual price level, and the economy is in long-run equilibrium at its natural level of output, $100 billion. Suppose a bout of severe weather drives up agricultural costs, increases the costs of transporting goods and services, and increases the costs of producing goods and services in this economy. Use the graph to help you answer the questions about the short-run and long-run effects of the increase in production costs that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph.) Hint: For simplicity, ignore any possible impact of the severe weather on the natural level of output
The following graph plots aggregate demand (AD2027AD2027) and aggregate supply (AS) for the imaginary country of Cotopaxi in the year 2027. Suppose the natural level of output in this economy is $6 trillion. On the following graph, use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve for this economy. Economists forecast that if the government takes no action and the economy continues to grow at the current rate, aggregate demand in 2028 will be given by the curve labeled ADAADA, resulting in the outcome given by point A. If, however, the government pursues an expansionary policy, aggregate demand in 2028 will be given by the curve labeled ADBADB, resulting in the outcome given by point B. The following table presents projections for the unemployment rates that would occur at point A and point B. Consider the potential rate of inflation between 2027 and 2028, depending on whether the economy moves from the initial price level of 102 to the…
The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD), the short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), and the long-run aggregate supply curve ( LRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level equals the actual price level, and the economy experiences long-run equilibrium at a natural level of output of $100 billion.. Suppose a bout of severe weather drives up agricultural costs, increases the costs of transporting goods and services, and increases the costs of producing goods and services. Use the graph to help you answer the questions about the short-run and long-run effects of the increase in production costs that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph.) Hint: For simplicity, ignore any possible impact of the severe weather on the natural level of output.
The following graph shows an aggregate demand curve (AD) illustrating the inverse relationship between the price level and the quantity of Real GDP in the United States. During World War II, the United States increased military spending. Show the effect of the following scenario on the aggregate demand curve by dragging the curve or moving the point to the appropriate position. Note: Tool tip: To move the curve, click and drag any part of the curve. The curve will snap into position, so if you try to move it and it snaps back to its original position, just try again and drag it a little farther.

The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD), the short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level equals the actual price level, and the economy experiences long-run equilibrium at a natural level of output of $120 billion. Suppose war in the world's main oil-producing region sharply reduces the world oil supply, causing oil prices to rise and increasing the costs of producing goods and services. Use the graph to help you answer the questions about the short-run and long-run effects of the increase in production costs that follow. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph.) Hint: For simplicity, ignore any possible impact of the higher oil prices on the natural level of output.

Determinants of aggregate supply The following graph shows an increase in short-run aggregate supply (AS) in a hypothetical economy where the currency is the dollar. Specifically, the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the right from AS1AS1 to AS2AS2, causing the quantity of output supplied at a price level of 100 to rise from $200 billion to $250 billion. The following table lists several determinants of short-run aggregate supply. Complete the table by selecting the changes in each scenario necessary to increase short-run aggregate supply. Change Necessary to Increase AS Technology (DECLINES or IMPROVES) Human capital (IMPROVES or DECLINES) Inflation expectations (HIGHER or LOWER)
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)
The following graph shows the short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves (SRAS and LRAS) for an economy. Suppose there is a technological improvement that allows firms to reduce their costs of production permanently. Drag one or both of the curves on the graph to illustrate the long-term effects of this change. If you don't believe there will be any long-term effects, leave the curves where they are. 240 LRAS SRAS 200 SRAS 160 LRAS 120 80 40 6 12 18 24 REAL GDP (Trillions of dollars) Assuming aggregate demand is not affected by the technological improvement, the long-run effect of this v supply shock is v in aggregate output and v in the price level.
