In the AD/AS model, the wage-adjustment process is asymmetrical because... O a. Employers delay wage increases in a boom but lay off workers quickly during a slump. O b. Taxes rise quickly in a boom but do not fall during a slump. O c. Goods prices rise more quickly than factor prices. O d. Wages rise quickly in a boom but fall slowly during a slump. e. Factor prices are more volatile than goods prices.

Owing to the global rise of fertilizer prices in 2022 (in turn caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine), the country experienced a shortage in some agricultural commodities. Using the AS-AD model, which of the following is an anticipated effect of this phenomenon? O a. Aggregate demand will rise in the short run. b. Aggregate demand will be higher than initial level in the long run. O C. Prices will quickly rise in the short run. O d. Prices will fall even below the pre-supply shock level in the long run.
Suppose Chino is a closed economy. A large portion of the work force has joint astrong labor union. As such, the nominal wages of most workers are downwardrigid.Suppose most households lose their wealth in a recent clash of the stock market.How would the price and output level of Chino be affected in the short run?Explain by using the AD-AS model. Particularly, use the sticky-wage model ofaggregate supply to explain the magnitude of the effects on price and output.

3. The graph below shows the AD-AS model for the US in long-run equilibrium. Label both axes and the following: AD, SRAS, LRAS. Indicate the equilibrium price level is P, and equilibrium level of output is Yo. X Assume that due to an expansion in European economics, US exports to that region increase. A. Show the effects of this change in the graph above. B. What happens to the SR equilibrium price level and level of output (Real GDP)? Label these P₁ and Y₁. C. Initially, what happens to real wages? D. What happens to the unemployment rate? E. Given your answer to parts C and D, how might workers respond? F. Show the effects of the change described in part E in the graph above. Label the new equilibrium price level and level of output as P₂ and Y₂. G. After this transition to the LR equilibrium, what is the level of output (Y₂) as compared to the initial level (Yo)?

Which of the following statements about the economy's aggregate demand curve is not correct? O The intersection of the AD curve and the SAS curve determines the short-run Macroeconomic equilibrium. All points on the AD curve relate a particular price level to the total demand for output at that price level. OA change in the price level will shift the AD curve. O The AD curve will be shifted by AD shocks.
Consider the basic AD/AS macro model in long-run equilibrium that experiences a positive AD shock. In the short run, the price level and output In the long run, the price level and output O a. Decreases; decreases; decreases further; decreases further. O b. Decreases; decreases; decreases further; returns to potential output. O c. Increases; increases; increases further; increases further.

What effects would each of the following have on aggregate demandor aggregate supply, other things equal? In each case explain the expectedeffects on the equilibrium price level and the level of real output, assumingthat the price level is flexible both upward and downward.· A sizable increase in labor productivity (with no change innominal wages).· An increase in exports that exceeds an increase in imports (notdue to tariffs).
Refer to the diagram that shows an AD/AS model for a hypothetical economy. The economy begins in long-run equilibrium at point A.
