Explanation of Solution

The aggregate demand curve shows the quantity demand or short-run equilibrium output at different price levels or inflation rate. If holding all else constant, an increase in rate of inflation reduces the planned consumption, investment and net export. This inverse relation between the inflation rate and the output level causes a downward sloping aggregate demand curve.

A fall in household wealth and thereby the planned consumption due to an increase in inflation is referred to as the wealth effect. An increase in rate of interest due to a higher inflation is referred to as interest rate effect. Whereas, an appreciation in the U.S. dollar and a corresponding reduction in the level of export, due to a higher rate of inflation is considered as the exchange rate effect. Both these effects reduce the planned consumption and planned investment and thereby the short-run output.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 (December 2022) was the United States economy operating in the Keynesian, intermediate, or neoclassical portion of the economy’s Short Run Aggregate Supply Curve? Explain.  Compare the overall state of the economy at the end of 2022 (fourth quarter) to the fourth quarter of 2019 which you described in your Chapter 11 Discussion. * For the Chapter 11 discussion for the fourth quarter of 2019, I said that the economy was acting in neoclassical.

Figure 1: Hayek’s (Classical) AD-AS Model Economics Online. (n.d.). Aggregate Demand. Retrieved from http://economicsonline.co.uk/Managing_the_economy/Aggregate_demand.html   Hayek says that markets will heal themselves and that government should not intervene. How does the AD-AS model reflect Hayek’s idea that governments cannot increase real GDP beyond the level that the free market economy is able to produce?         Do you believe that the Hayek’s classical AD-AS model explain the factors that cause changes (shifts) in AS realistically? Why or why not? Figure 2: Keynes’s AD-AS Model Economics Online. (n.d.). Aggregate supply. Retrieved from http://www.economicsonline.co.uk/Managing_the_economy/Aggregate+supply.html   2.1.
