Interpret the three ranges of the Aggregate Supply curve in
terms of how the price level and real GDP change when Aggregate
Demand declines. Which of the four GDP expenditure categories is
the largest? What does its rise or decline imply for the economy as
a whole?
Draw and explain the three ranges on the aggregate demand and
supply graph. Show in separate graph what happens to the aggregate
supply curve when the price of oil increases.
Discuss why the aggregate supply (AS) curve is relatively flat
within the low ranges of aggregate output and relatively vertical
within the ranges of high aggregate output. Which part of the AS
curve fiscal policy works better and why?

In the neo-classical model, the aggregate supply curve has three
ranges depending on how far the economy is from full
employment.
a. True
b. False

Suppose you are given the following fixed-price Keynesian
model:
C = 480 + 0.9Yd
I = 200
G = 100
X = 200
M = 100 + 0.1Yd
T = 100.
What is the equilibrium level of GDP?
a.
1180
b.
5500
c.
4400
d.
4000
e.
3200

In the question above,...
A. Why does there seem to be three different Aggregate Supply
curves in the Aggregate Supply/Aggregate Demand models?
The Aggregate Supply curve changes depending the time of
year.
The Aggregate Supply curve usually is upward sloping
The Aggregate Supply curve usually trends toward equilibrium
The Aggregate Supply/Aggregate Demand model can have any of the
three supply lines, depending on economic circumstances.
B. If the Aggregate Supply line is shown as a vertical line:
The economy is at less than full...
Explain how to use an economic aggregate supply and demand model
to forecast a decline in: (a) economic growth; (b) inflation; and
(c) the nominal market interest rate.
Using aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and
long-run aggregate supply curves, explain the process by which each
of the following government policies will move the economy from one
long-run macroeconomic equilibrium to another. Illustrate with
diagrams. In each case, what are the short-run and long-run effects
on the aggregate price level and aggregate output?
There is an increase in taxes on households.
There is an increase in the quantity of money.
There is an increase in government spending.
Illustrate using the Aggregate Supply/Aggregate Demand diagram
the effect of an expansionary monetary policy on economic output
and price level. Indicate the new equilibrium level.
Economic growth may be attained when either aggregate demand or
aggregate supply shifts to the right.
What are the different effects between aggregate demand-based
growth and aggregate supply-based growth?
What may shift aggregate supply to the right? Thoroughly explain
its process.
As a policy maker, would you prefer the strategies of aggregate
supply-based economic growth or aggregate demand-based growth? Why
or why not?
As a proponent of either aggregate supply-based growth
strategies or aggregate demand-based growth strategies, what would
you...
