1. Using Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply framework, how did the coronavirus affect the U.S. economy in March and April 2020? (Would you say it shifted one curve, or the other, or both - why and how, etc. Does the framework help you think about these events. Going forward do you think Aggregate Demand will play the crucial role in changing GDP levels that it very often has in the past..?)

2. Find an article in a major business publication, (for example, the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, the Harvard Business Review, Forbes) that describes an event that may affect the U.S. price level and real GDP. • Draw an initial set of AD and AS curves and determine which curve(s) will be affected and in which direction it will shift as a result of the AD/AS factors or policies. What are the factors or policies? Predict what will happen to price level and real GDP and explain your answer. All graphs must be properly labelled. Each axis must be correctly labelled, and the horizontal axis must indicate the nature of the graph itself.
How would you draw an ADAS diagram showing an event that caused the aggregate demand to shift?( my example is how the federal government increased spending on national defense) Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
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).
13. In recent months there have been lots of pent-up demand post lockdowns (e.g. many people who are flying for the first time since the lockdowns). supply bottlenecks that are preventing some items from being shipped to stores in a timely fashion. This definitely adds to the costs of resources (production). Now consider an aggregate demand/aggregate supply model with the x-axis showing real GDP and the y-axis showing the inflation rate. These events are going to cause shifts in both curves. What result can you definitely predict from the model? a. More unemployment b. Less unemployment c. More GDP d. Higher inflation rates
Using aggregate demand and aggregate supply, graph the effects on the price level and GDP of each of the following. Draw a large graph and label all axes, initial and final equilibrium points, direction of shift if any, all curves and lines, equilibrium values on the x- and y-axes. State the conclusion in words. a. A cut in income taxes b. An increase in military spending c. A drop in export demand by foreign purchasers d. An increase in imports e. A decline in business investment spending
Look at Figure 2. Assume this aggregate demand diagram represents an economy with government, where: a = exogenous consumption b = the marginal propensity to consume t = the tax rate |= investment G = government spending Y = income Figure 2 Aggregate demand AD, AD. 45° Income What is the equation for the aggregate demand schedule ADo? Select one: O ADO = b+ a(1 - t)G +1+ Y O ADO = a + b(1 – 1)Y + 1+ G O ADO = a + b(1 - t) I+ Y+ G O ADO = b+ a(1 – 1)Y + /+ G Next page > ( Previous page PHILIPS
2. A temporary change in the price of oil can affect an economy in many ways. Here we will model a decrease in the price of oil using the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model. Our shock in this question will be: the price of oil temporarily declines, holding all else constant. Let's start with assuming the US was producing at the full- employment level of output (Yp) with an arbitrary price level (P) before the decline in oil prices. a. Represent the US economy at this point with an aggregate demand-aggregate supply graph. Label this initial equilibrium as point A. b. The price of oil decreases like mentioned above. Assuming this was the only change in the economy, show how this affects the short run equilibrium in your diagram in part a. Label this new point as point B. c. According to your diagram, is this economy in an expansion or a recession? Explain. d. Is the economy experiencing stagflation? Why or why not?
1.) The Keynesian AD-AS model describes what happens with price levels when aggregate demand increases. Could you find any evidence from the last ten-fifteen years that might support AD-AS model descriptions of demand-pull inflation, cost-push inflation, and recession? For example, you could find data on the GDP’s of any two countries from 2000 to 2017 to support your findings. 2.) In macroeconomics, the immediate short run is known as a length of time when both input prices and output prices are fixed. In the short-run, input prices are fixed but output prices are variable. In the long run, input prices and output prices can vary. What happens in the immediate short-run when AD falls from AD to AD2 to the price level and output? What happens in the short-run when AD falls from AD to AD2 to the price level and output? What will happen in the long-run?
10- Base on the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model, in the long-run, an increase in export sales would cause output to …. and the price level to …. A- rise, rise B- rise, stay constant C- fall, stay constant D- stay constant, rise
2. The 1974-1975 recession clearly illustrates how a supply shock affect the economy. Following the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) took action that increased the price of a barrel of oil from less that $3 to more than $10. Use the information and the statistics in the following table to draw a dynamic aggregate demand and aggregate graph showing supply macroeconomic equilibrium for 1974 and 1975. Assume that aggregate demand curve did not shift between 1974 and 1975. Provide a brief explanation of your graph. Actual Real GDP Potential GDP Price Level 28.7 1974 $5.39 trillion $5.42 trillion 1975 $5.38 trillion $5.61 trillion 31.4 * Accessibility: Investigate W HUAWEI
6. The graph below depicts an economy where a decline in aggregate demand has caused a recession. Assume the government decides to conduct fiscal policy by changing taxes to reduce the burden of this recession.

If you are entering a negative number include a minus sign. a. How much does aggregate demand need to change to restore the economy to its long-run equilibrium? 24 billion b. If the MPC is 0.8, how much do taxes need to change to shift aggregate demand by the amount you found in part a? Price Level
