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
Consider a closed economy, where wages are sticky in the short run. The consumption function isC = c0 + c1(Y − T ), where the marginal propensity to consume c1 is equal to 0.75. Initially the economy is in equilibrium at Y = Y* and P = P e, where P e is the price level that was expected when agents agreed their fixed nominal wage contracts. The short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) is horizontal. Suddenly the government increases government spending G by $500. 1. By how much will output Y change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated? 2. By how much will consumption C change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated? 3. By how much will investment I change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated?
this is true or false: an increase in AS will result in more jobs for the economy as long as we are not at full employment output i understand an increase in AS will result in more jobs for the economy, but i dont understand the last part of the question. "as long as we are not at full employment output". doesnt the AS curve become vertical at Qfe? can you explain this for me? idk whether this is true or false.
Refer to the following figure 1. For this economy, if the actual price level exceeds theexpected price level, how much output will the economyproduce in the short-run?

Suppose that the economy's long-run output level is produces accourding to the following production funciton: Y= AK^1/2L^1/2 (will attach picture of the function) and that A = 5, K = 400 and L = 100 A. What is the economic meaning of the powers of K and L? B. What is the level of output ? produced when the economy in long-run equilibrium. C. Suppose that aggregate demand in the economy is described by the following equation:Y^d = m/kP Where M is the money supply, P is the price level and k = 1/V (velocity of money). Explain carefully where this equation is derived from and its interpretation D. Suppose that M = 2000 and that k = 2. What is the price level P at which the economy is in long-run- equilibrium? Plot such an equilibrium on a diagram with P on the vertical axis and Y on the horizontal axis, by distinguishing between the short-run and the long-run equilibrium. E. Now suppose that starting from the equilibrium of (b) and (c), the Central Bank increases M to 3000. Calculate…
The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 5 and potential output of $5 trillion. Assume a boom increases household wealth and causes consumers to spend more. Using the following exhibit, shift the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the boom. In the short run, the increase in consumption spending associated with the expansion shifts the curve to the , causing the price level to the price level people expected and the quantity of output to potential output. The boom will cause the unemployment rate to the natural rate of unemployment in the short run. Again, the following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 5 and potential output of $5 trillion before the increase in consumption spending associated with the expansion. Now, on the following exhibit, show the long-run impact of the boom by shifting…
