In the sticky-price model, describe the aggregate supply curve in the following special cases. How do these cases compare to the short-run aggregate supply curve we discussed in Chapter 10?
All firms have sticky prices (s = 1).
The desired price does not depend on aggregate output (a = 0).
Which of the following statements best describes the aggregate supply curve?
A) The aggregate supply curve represents the relationship between the price level and the total output or real GDP in the macroeconomy.
B) The aggregate supply curve represents the relationship between the inflation rate and the total output or real GDP in the macroeconomy.
C) The aggregate supply curve represents the relationship between the inflation rate and the total demand or real GDP in the macroeconomy.
D) The aggregate supply curve represents the relationship between the price level and the potential output or GDP in the macroeconomy.

- What effects would each of the following have on aggregate demand or aggregate supply? Justify your answer. In each case use a diagram to show the expected effects on the equilibrium price level and real output level in the economy. Assume that all other things remain constant and prices are inflexible downward. (a) A reduction in interest rates at each price level (b) A sizable increase in labor productivity. (c) The nation’s currency appreciates against its major trading partners .arrow_forwardDetermine whether each of the following would cause a shift of the aggregate demand curve, a shift of the aggregate supply curve, a shift in neither curve, or a shift in both curves. If a shift is caused, indicate which curve shifts, and in which direction it shifts. What happens to aggregate output and the price level in each case? The price level changes. Consumer confidence increases. The supply of resources decreases. The wage rate decreases. There is no minimum word requirement for responses.

Using this model, analyze the impact of each scenario in the short run and in the long run by drawing the appropriate graph. Denote the initial equilibrium point as "A", the short-run equilibrium point as "B", and the new long-run equilibrium point as "C". Indicate through arrows the movement in equilibrium point from the short run to the long run. a. Implementation of lockdown policies which limited the mobility of people, thus causing consumers to spend less. b. Scenario (a) plus decline in labor force participation and widespread closure of businesses like in COVID-19 pandemic. c. Oil price hike which increases the costs of production. d. Scenario (c) plus government response in the form of accommodative monetary policy and fiscal stimulus to prevent the decline in outputarrow_forward
- In the long-run, aggregate supply is a horizontal line at the long-run price level people can afford. True False One reason for why the aggregate demand curve slopes down is the wealth effect, which means that a higher price level leads to lower real wealth and, thereby, reduces the level of consumption.
