None When aggregate demand declines, efficiency wages might contribute to downward wage inflexibility, at least for a time,because wage cuts can O increase employment and GDP. O cause aggregate supply to fall. O reduce productivity, raiseper-unit labor costs, and be self-defeating. O cause people to quit their jobs.

The short run aggregate supply curve was constructed assuming that as the price of outputs increases, the puce of inputs stays the same. How would an increase in the prices of important inputs, like energy, affect aggregate supply?
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?
If price level is held constant and we decrease consumption, the aggregate demand curve will shift to theSelect one:O a. NortheastO b. SouthwestO cc Neither A nor B
Assume that (a)the price level is flexible upward but not downward and (b) the economy iscurrently operating at its full-employment output. Other things equal, how willeach of the following affect the equilibrium price level and equilibrium levelof real output in the short run?· An increase in aggregate demand.· A decrease in aggregate supply, with no change in aggregatedemand.· Equal increases in aggregate demand and aggregate supply.· A decrease in aggregate demand.· An increase in aggregate demand that exceeds an increase inaggregate supply.
Start at full-employment (FE) equilibrium with flexible wages and worker misperception of price level changes in the short run. Suppose then that we have an increase in Aggregate Demand. First, think about the short-run effects on price level (P), output level (Q), wage level (W), employment (L), and unemployment (U)? In the long run, once workers realize that there was a change in the price level, they will change the supply curve of labor. When all subsequent wage and price adjustments take place, we will be in a new long-run equilibrium. From the original full-employment (FE) equilibrium to the final one, what is the net change in the price level (P), output level (Q), the nominal wage (W), employment (L), unemployment rate (U), and the real wage (W/P)? Group of answer choices a) An increase in P, no change in Q, no change in W, an increase in L, an increase in U and no change in W/P. b) An increase in P, a decrease in Q, a decrease in W, a decrease in L, an…
All else equal, a decline in price of inputs across the economy — such as labor — causes 6) A) Rightward shift of aggregate demand [AD] and a higher real GDP [Y] B) Leftward shift of aggregate supply [AS] and a lower Y C) Rightward shift of AS and a higher Y D) Leftward shift of AD and deflation
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.

Assume an ecomy operates in the intermediate range of its aggregate supply curve. State the direction of shif for the aggregate demand curve or aggregate supply curve for each of the following changes in conditions. What is the effect on the price level? On real GDP? On employment?
why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward word 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…
