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.

Would a shift of AD to the right tend to make the equilibrium quantity and price level higher or lower? What about a shift of AD to the left?
A neoclassical economist and a Keynesian economist are studying the economy of Vineland. It appeals that Vineland is beginning to experience a mild recession with a decrease in aggregate demand. Which of these two economists would likely advocate that the government of Vineland take active measures to reverse this decline in aggregate demand? Why?
Will the shift of SRAS to the right tend to make the equilibrium quantity and price level higher or lower? What about a shift of SRAS to the left?
In 2013, Prussia's aggregate demand curve was determined by the equation M + 1-4% A change in aggregate demand means that in 2014, Prussia's aggregate demand curve was determined by the equation Using this information, draw Prussia's old and new dynamic aggregate demand curves on the graph Which of the factors could have resulted in the change irn aggregate demand seen between 2013 and 2014? 13 AD 2013 an improvement in technology O an increase in imports O higher consumer confidence O a decrease in oil prices 12 AD 2014 10 8 5 4 3 2 4 -3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 78 9 10 Real GDP growth rate

Policymakers who can influence AD cannot offset the adverse effects of a recession due to a fall in AS’. Do you agree with this statement? Explain the answer in words and using an AD-AS diagram
Review the problem shown in the Work It Out titled "Interpreting the AD/AS Model." Like the information provided in that feature, Table 24.2 shows information on aggregate supply, aggregate demand, and the price level for the imaginary country of Xurbia.

Identify the equilibrium. Imagine that, as a result of a government tax cut, aggregate demand becomes higher by 50 at every price level. Identify the new equilibrium. How will the new equilibrium alter output? How will it alter the price level? What do you think will happen to employment?

Other things equal, what effects would each of the following have on aggregate demand or aggregate supply? In each case use a diagram to show the expectedeffects on the equilibrium price level and the level ofreal output.a. A reduction in the economy’s real interest rate.b. A major increase in federal spending for healthcare (with no increase in taxes).c. The complete disintegration of OPEC, causing oilprices to fall by one-half. d. A 10 percent reduction in personal income taxrates (with no change in government spending).e. A sizable increase in labor productivity (with nochange in nominal wages).f. A 12 percent increase in nominal wages (with nochange in productivity).g. A sizable depreciation in the international value ofthe dollar.

The imaginary country of Harris Island has the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves as shown in Table below. Price Level 100 120 140 160 180 AD 700 600 500 400 300 AS 200 325 500 570 620 a. Plot the AD/AS diagram with the axes labeled. Identify the equilibrium. b. Imagine that consumers begin to lose confidence about the state of the economy, and so AD becomes lower by 275 at every price level. Identify the new aggregate equilibrium. c. How will the shift in AD affect the original output, price level, and employment?
