Question: The attached picture shows the aggregate demand/aggregate supply situation in the U.S. What is the value of actual GDP? What is the value of the GDP deflator? Assume that people and businesses become pessimistic about the future of the economy; how will this affect the graph above in the short run? (i.e., which curve(s) will shift, and in which direction?) After the short-run event in part b, what will happen to actual GDP? What will happen to the price level? After the short-run event in part b, describe how the economy is doing in terms of the business cycle (i.e., recession, full employment, expansion). What long-run adjustments will be made in this economy as a result of the short-run changes in part c? How will the curve(s) shift in response to these long-run adjustments? After the long-run adjustments in part e, describe how the economy is doing in terms of the business cycle (i.e., recession, full employment, expansion).
Assume the graph represents the Japanese economy during the first quarter of 2014. Use the information from the seventh paragraph of the Washington Post article Japan Recession, Europe Stagnation Cast Pall over Global Economic Outlook to demonstrate how the policies of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe affected the economy in the subsequent quarters of 2014. The graph depicts aggregate demand (AD), short‑run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long‑run aggregate supply (LRAS). LRAS is sometimes labeled potential output.
Suppose you are given the following information about an economy: Short run Aggregate Supply: SRAS = Y = 5000r+ 14,400 Long run Aggregate Supply: Aggregate Demand: Investment Spending: Consumption Spending: Government Spending: Net Exports (eX – iM): LRAS = Y* = 25,000 AD = Y=C+I+G+NX_ I = 4000 – 250r C = 1000 +0.75(Y – T) G = 2000 NX = 500 Taxes – Transfers: T = 2400 Monetary Policy: Money Demand: Money Market equilibrium: Fisher equation: where i is the nominal interest rate (i.e. when the interest rate is 7%, it means i= 7) r = 2 n м 3 20,000- 2000i M$ = MD i = r+T e. Find the short run equilibrium level of real GDP (Y), and inflation rate (t), in the short run. What is the output gap in the economy? Is it an expansionary or recessionary gap?
Considering the formula for Aggregate Demand (Also known as the product market) answer the following question:Name two macroeconomic variables (from this formula) that decline when the economy goes into recession, and explain why this happens?Name one macroeconomic variable (from this formula) that rises during a recession, and explain why this happens?
The following graph shows several aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves for an economy whose potential output is $5 trillion. The curves are labelled a, b, c, and d. Three points on the graph are also indicated by grey stars and labelled K, L, and M. 100 90 80 M. 70 60 50 b 40 30 a 20 2 3 4 5 6 7 REAL GDP (Trillions of dollars) Identify which curve on the previous graph corresponds to each description in the following table. If the curve described does not appear on the graph choose Not Shown. Description b Not Shown a Long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) Short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) when the economy is at long-run equilibrium Short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) when there is an inflationary gap Short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) when there is a recessionary gap Aggregate demand (AD) PRICE LE VEL
Use the Aggregate supply and Aggregate Demand Model below to answer the questions that follow.Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand Model 1. Examine the influence of government expenditure on investment in a nation. Use Jot Inc. Ltd a multinational construction company in which you are the Chief Exec of the firm that that is highly diversified and recieves funds to construct highways and other government funded projects. Also, explain the factors that cause the Aggregate Demand curve to be downward sloping left to right
The graphs illustrate an initial equilibrium for the economy. Suppose that the government increases taxes. Use the graphs to show the new positions of aggregate demand (AD), short-run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) in both the short run and the long run, as well as the short-run and long-run equilibriums resulting from this change. Then, indicate what happens to the price level and GDP in the short run and in the long run. Aggregate price level Short-run graph LRAS SRAS Short-run equilibrium Real GDP AD Aggregate price level Long-run graph LRAS Long-run equilibrium Real GDP AD SRAS gate
The policies of the federal government influence the outcomes of the various activities in that economy. When government policies change or unplanned events occur, the resulting economic events or activity will usually change. Listed below is a policy or event that affect the performance of the economy: The level of investment decreases because of a lack of confidence in the economy. for the question above, describe what would be the likely outcome in the economy. Use the appropriate tools of analysis, such as aggregate demand and aggregate supply where appropriate, to justify and explain your answer.
#2a: As you have learned consumer expectationsLinks to an external site. are a major driver of the short run path of the economy. Consumer spending accounts for about 68% of GDP and consumer sentimentLinks to an external site. is a major factor in shifting Aggregate Demand. Do you expect consumer confidence and business expectations to improve in the months ahead? Utilizing the equation GDP= C+I+G+ (X-M) from Chapter 6 what is your forecast for the way the AD curve will shift between now and the end of 2023? Explain. Do you anticipate a recession between now and the end of 2023?

Using a macroeconomics demand/supply analysis, where do you think current output is relative to what the economy is capable of producing? Look at recent trends in the data. What are the recent trends in the components of aggregate demand (consumption spending, investment spending, government purchases, and exports and imports?
