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.

What effects would each of the following have on aggregate demandor aggregate supply, other things equal? In each case explain the expectedeffects on the equilibrium price level and the level of real output, assumingthat the price level is flexible both upward and downward.· A sizable increase in labor productivity (with no change innominal wages).· An increase in exports that exceeds an increase in imports (notdue to tariffs).
The following graph shows an increase in aggregate demand (AD) in a hypothetical country. Specifically, aggregate demand shifts to the right from AD¡ to AD2, causing the quantity of output demanded to rise at all price levels. For example, at a price level of 140, output is now $400 billion, wwhere previously it was $300 billion. 170 100 150 140 130 120 AD2 110 AD, 100 00 + 100 200 300 400 500 00 700 800 OUTPUT (Billions of dollars) The following table lists several determinants of aggregate demand. Complete the table by indicating the change needed in each determinant to increase aggregate demand.

3. The graph below shows the AD-AS model for the US in long-run equilibrium. Label both axes and the following: AD, SRAS, LRAS. Indicate the equilibrium price level is P, and equilibrium level of output is Yo. X Assume that due to an expansion in European economics, US exports to that region increase. A. Show the effects of this change in the graph above. B. What happens to the SR equilibrium price level and level of output (Real GDP)? Label these P₁ and Y₁. C. Initially, what happens to real wages? D. What happens to the unemployment rate? E. Given your answer to parts C and D, how might workers respond? F. Show the effects of the change described in part E in the graph above. Label the new equilibrium price level and level of output as P₂ and Y₂. G. After this transition to the LR equilibrium, what is the level of output (Y₂) as compared to the initial level (Yo)?
What effects would each of the following have on aggregate demandor aggregate supply, other things equal? In each case explain the expectedeffects on the equilibrium price level and the level of real output, assumingthat the price level is flexible both upward and downward. · A reduction in interest rates at each price level.· A major increase in spending for health care by the Federalgovernment.· A 10 percent across-the-board reduction in personal income taxrates.· A sizable increase in labor productivity (with no change innominal wages).· An increase in exports that exceeds an increase in imports (notdue to tariffs).
Price level AD AD Real GDP FIGURE 23-4 Refer to Figure 23-4. Suppose the Canadian economy is initially in equilibrium at point A. An unexpected shock then shifts both the AD and the AS curves as shown and results in a new equilibrium represented by point B. Which of the following events could cause such a shock? Select one: O A. a decrease in the world price of oil O B. an increase in the net tax rate O C. an increase in factor prices O D. a decrease in firms' desired investment experiditures a decrease in labour productivity
Suppose the economy of the hypothetical country “X” is currently in equilibrium at point A on thegraph. There were two major shocks to the economy in 2020.First shock was related to oil prices; the other was related to consumer confidence about futurebusiness conditions. Oil Shock: The economy X faced a rise in the average price of oil along with the rise of world price ofoil.E) Would an increase in oil prices cause a demand shock or a supply shock? Redraw the diagram toillustrate the effect of this shock by shifting the appropriate curve. What happens to theAggregate output and price level after the shock? (3)F) If policymakers wish to prevent the equilibrium output from changing in response to the oilprice increase, should they use contractionary or expansionary fiscal policy? (Redraw the graphfrom part E and show the change) (4)G) Even if the economy moves back to original Aggregate output, will there be any drawback?

Consider the figure to the right. In the absence of a change in aggregate demand, what effect does negative economic growth have on the price level over time, other things being equal? Why? 1.) Draw a new long-run aggregate supply curve that shows the effects of negative economic growth on the economy's long-run equilibrium. Label your line 'LRAS2.' 2.) Indicate the economy's new long-run equilibrium price and level of real GDP. Label this point 'E2.' The change in the price level over time due to negative economic growth and the subsequent shift in long-run aggregate supply is known as
