(3) the shift in the AD curve shifts more than the shift in the SRAS curve. Based on this information, in the short run equilibrium Price Level will __________ ; the equilibrium real GDP will _________;and the unemployment rate will __________.(Hint: Draw the initial AD-SRAS curves and then on the same graph draw the new AD-SRAS curves to derive your final answer ).
