Suppose an economy begins at AD and AS in long-run equilibrium with real GDP equal to Y*; the price level is stable at Po. a. Suppose the central bank announces that it will implement an expansionary monetary policy that will shift the AD curve up by 5 percent. Does the shift of the AS curve following this announcement depends on whether workers and firms believe the central bank's announcement? Explain. OA. Yes. Workers' and firms' expectations of inflation put pressure on nominal wages, which is what causes the AS curve to shift. Workers' and firms' expectations of inflation will not change if they do not believe the announcement. OB. No. The bank's announcement will affect the shift of the AS curve, regardless of whether workers and firms believe it. Yes Workers' and firms' expectations of real interest rates put pressure

![Suppose an economy begins at AD and AS in long-run equilibrium with real
GDP equal to Y*; the price level is stable at Po.
a. Suppose the central bank announces that it will implement an expansionary
monetary policy that will shift the AD curve up by 5 percent. Does the shift of the
AS curve following this announcement depends on whether workers and firms
believe the central bank's announcement? Explain.
OA. Yes. Workers' and firms' expectations of inflation put pressure on nominal
wages, which is what causes the AS curve to shift. Workers' and firms'
expectations of inflation will not change if they do not believe the
announcement.
OB. No. The bank's announcement will affect the shift of the AS curve,
regardless of whether workers and firms believe it.
O C. Yes. Workers' and firms' expectations of real interest rates put pressure
on the price level, which is what causes the AS curve to shift. Workers'
and firms' expectations of inflation will not change if they do not believe
the announcement.
O D. No. The bank's announcement will not affect the shift of the AS curve,
regardless of whether workers and firms believe it.
